Torghatten is the place, it's one of the few places that's grandios and awesome no matter what weather.

It was pouring with rain when I went up. Fabulous work by just 14 Sherpas to build the very impressive access “staircase” to get there - and out the other side.

Those Sherpas are amazing. A friend of mine saw them in action at another place here in Norway.

One guy picked up a rock so big you wouldn't think a single man could lift it without struggling, let alone carry it in steep terrain. Then he walked up the mountainside while looking for another rock, and picked up another rock roughly the same size. Then he just continued up the mountainside with both of them.

They build the paths and steps from local rocks with a minimum of tools, so they mainly move all the rocks you see by hand.

It has been made several short documentaries about them and the work they do in Norway. This one is in English. Really impressive: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SRzd4y2EVcY&pp=ygUOc2hlcnBhcyBub3J3YXk%3D
