With my daughter Sol to the summit of Mount Storhornet

Date:
26.03.2016
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:44h
Distance:
6.8km

As on multiple other occasions, I ascended the summit of Storhornet, the highest peak on the mountain of the island Godøy, in Giske Municipality, in Møre & Romsdal County on the west coast of Norway. I have frequently climbed this mountain alone, but on several occasions I've also climbed the mountain along with one of my children; and on this day it was my oldest daughter Sol who joined me for the hike. We parked our car on the parking lot in Hestvika [i.e. The Horse's Bay], and started out from there. This parking place is spacious, and it's free of charge, so I recommend it to anyone who's planning to do this hike. The trail up the north face of the mountain starts about 100 meters from the parking lot. There is a combined pedestrian and bicycle lane on the other side of the road, >>>

Another Winter Hike to Mount Storehornet on Godøy Island

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:45h
Distance:
7.0km

On this day a made a hike to the summit Storhornet on Godøy Island off the coast of Møre & Romsdal County on the west coast of Norway, along with my son Dag. We parked at the new parking lot in Hestvika [i.e. The Horse's Bay], where there's plenty of space even during the tourist season, and set out from there. We followed the regular route up to the plateau where Lake Alnesvatnet (250 m.a.m.s.l.) is located, then continued along the lake till we reached the northeast end of it, from where we followed the usual path along the mountain ridge to the summit of the mountain. There was snow all the way up on this particular day (snow often comes and goes during the winter, as the island is located within the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic Ocean). Back down we used the same route as we had used >>>
