The path from Oldedalen across to Stardalen was an old travel route. Before 1935, the path started further north in the valley, up by Myklebust. The path used today was rerouted in 1935 after major work building staircases and laying chains in exposed places. In 2014 and 2015 the stonework was improved with new staircases, culverts, widening of the path, and wire. It's not a continuous staircase, but several short sections. In total, staircases/flagstones are said to have been built over about 200m, and 40 meters of wire were installed. For many, the highlight is the 1935 staircase that runs through the Gløvre gorge.
