All the hikers are now in shelter: – All are physically unharmed, but tired and affected, say the police.

An entourage of eleven people and three dogs were trapped on the ground at Ovaldsnuten in Øvre Eidfjord on Saturday.

The area is about 1200 meters above sea level, and there was very bad weather in the area with wind, sleet, snow and low cloud cover in the afternoon hours on Saturday.

Just before 9 p.m., a local helicopter company picked up four people.

The last seven people on the tour, in addition to a companion, stayed on the mountain.

Rescuers tried to rescue the people by helicopter, but had to turn around due to the storm.
