Bárrás / Parastinden (1419), Storfjord.

A short description of the East ridge - NW ridge traverse. There is parking at the end of the road at Rognli in Signaldalen. Follow the dirt road up Parasdalen / Bárrásvuovdi towards Gappohytta near the Swedish border. The distance to the cottages is 10 km. Leave the path after 5-6 km and climb up the grassy hills towards the small lakes (1050) below the East ridge. The ridge is an easy walk (30-35°) all the way to the summit and is marked with small cairns. The descent down the NW ridge is a little more exposed, but still straightforward.
