It makes it the highest point in the forest area between the Eikeren and Lågendalen, and Vestfold's highest mountain.
The starting point for the trip is reached on a forest road, Brekkeveien, from Eidsfoss up to a parking lot 410 meters above sea level and about 500 meters south of Gausesetra. The road is closed during winter, and you have to pay a fee to drive up to the parking lot. Holmestrand and Omegn Turistforening have marked a route that goes past a hut and to the north side of Skibergfjell. From there it turns southwest and up to the apex, 632 metres above sea level.
At the top is an eight-edge granite stone that was put there as early as 1877 as a trigonometric point. On the north-eastern part of the top plateau there is also a building and an antenna, which today controls various functions in power production. From the cairn you can see Færder in the Oslofjord, as well as more nearby destinations such as the Tryvann Tower, Norefjell and Jonsknuten.
The most beautiful view is still found on the southern part of the plateau, also called Vestfjellet, barely a kilometre southwest of the trig point and now measured to be the highest point. From here you can look down towards the lakes Øksne, Hajeren and over the vast forests between Lågen and Eikeren with Skrimfjell and Lifjell further back.
The trip to the top of Skibergfjell can be combined with the tour around Vestfjellet. From there, the marked route goes south and then east again to the starting point.
