Distance: 3.4km (313.9km).
There was time before my train home departed, so I took the gondola up to Skjørstadhovden. Not exactly a part of the pilgrim path to Trondheim, but as it was a part of my journey it should also be a part of my tale from it.
Skjørstadhovden also provides a great view over the landscape the pilgrim path passes through after it comes down from the mountains.
I found a nice place a little bit down from the summit at 1125m, where I could sit down and read. Below I could see Oppdal church and try to make my way backwards on Gudbrandsdalsleden.

View from Skjørstadhovden, looking over the valley that I went through yesterday.
It was tempting to start climbing higher up, but I was sensible and did not succumb to it. I felt invigorated enough being this close to the mountains above before a long train ride home.
Before taking the gondola down again, I had lunch at the restaurant.
On a short walk down to the small unnamed lake on the backside of Skjørstadhovden.

After 11 days (including this) and 314km on Valldalsleden, the journey goes back home again.
