Allestadhaugen in deep snow

Date:
20.01.2024
Characteristic:
Snowshoe trip
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
3.8km

Expecting that all the (lots of) snow would be rained away the coming day, we took out our snow shoes and made an excursion into Kanadaskogen (in the northwest of Varden). Stepping first around Gjeddevatnet in its northeast, we ascended to higher grounds in the east of Elvareidet. Making progress in the deep snow was quite a bit of a challenge, but it was very nice to explore this part of Kanadaskogen with so much snow. Near Allestadhaugen, we decided that not much more seemed reasonable on this day. Taking Allestadhaugen as our "turn-around" point, we headed back towards Varden (a bit further east than where we had stepped earlier. We still had to manage some steeper sections, but all in all, this excursion into the deep snow was very nice! :-) Selected photos are available as >>>

Middagshovden with snowshoes

Date:
01.01.2023
Characteristic:
Snowshoe trip
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.9km

Lovely snowshoe tour on the first day of the year! After first reusing the track from the day before , we then decided to add an extension to Middagshovden. The ascent was a bit demanding (and in the upper part some 50 height meters, or so, were also quite steep), but all-in-all it was very nice and enjoyable. From Middagshovden, we then followed the slightly more traditional route down (in parallel to Ljosegrovi) until we reunited with our tracks from earlier. Really very nice to make such a winter hike with snowshoes! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Exploring snowy Brandset

Date:
31.12.2022
Characteristic:
Snowshoe trip
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
5.2km

Nice excursion into the snow (with snow shoes) on the last day in the year. While the snow shoes helped a lot, it was still quite an effort through the deep snow -- definitely worth it! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
