The route

Follow a forest road which quickly turns into a forest path. Follow the path towards the southeast ridge. The marked path continues past Dalskarhornet on the south side, so make sure you get on the (less visible) path up the southeast ridge. The summit has no summit marker but there is a big antenna installation at the top.
