From the summit, runners will have stunning views overlooking the delta in Rapadalen.

Overnight Trip:
Skierfe is known for the spectacular viewpoint one can get from the top in good weather. The path to the top is generally an easy run and Skierfe is therefore a popular detour for people running or hiking along the King's Trail. It is a 7.5 km run (one-way) and a climb of about +600 meters from the Aktse mountain hut.
