What this video covers

Steph and Travis hike a steep, 2.2-kilometre trail from Urke, Norway, to a mountain ridge shelter to take wedding photos overlooking the fjord. The ascent involves 940 metres of elevation gain, requiring a strenuous climb over rocky, occasionally wet terrain. The couple reaches a mountain hut built in 2019 to honour a local hiker, Egil Ambak. Despite the cold temperatures and the need to wait for optimal lighting, they complete a one-hour photo session at the summit before descending the steep trail. The crew then departs Urke by boat, utilising favourable winds to reach an intermediate anchorage in preparation for a subsequent passage into another fjord.
