Heida and Bergsetnakken ...
...are two neigbour tops east of Randabygda by Nordfjord. This is great terrain for skiing and you can do both tops on a combined round trip. Below is a route description for a ski-trip to Heida from Vangen Skisenter (skiing centre) and it is easy to include Bergsetnakken and come back the starting point.
The view from the top is superb, although Glitregga to the north and Bergsetnakken to the west obscure part of the panorama. The view towards the tops across Nordfjord is just superb.
