Buhovda lies 1,149 metres above sea level and is the highest peak along the marked trails on Øvre Ålsåsen. From the car park, the walk is approximately one kilometre on a gentle incline to the summit, where there are views in all directions.

From the top, participants can either return the same way or continue 600 metres to Holtetjørni. By the tarn there are several benches and the opportunity for a lunch break. The circular route via Holtetjørni continues for a further 1.6 kilometres along an easy path back to the car park. The entire round trip is approximately 3.2 kilometres.
