To Mount Klovetinden and Mount Middagshornet

Date:
26.09.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:17h
Distance:
13.1km

On this particular day, I went mountain hiking with my oldest son and my youngest daughter. We discussed in advance where to go, and then my daughter came up with the suggestion of Mount Klovetinden [945 m.a.m.s.l.] in Ørsta Municipality, and the rest of us had no objection to it. We went with my daughter’s car to the ferry quay at Solevågseidet, crossed the fjord by the ferry; and then continued by car to the bay called Barstadvika, and then up to a cabin area called Barstadsætra, located about 190 m.a.m.s.l. (see map). We parked the car at the parking lot by the river, and then started hiking up the mountain along a nice, well marked, and readily visible trail. My daughter had been hiking in this area before, and new very well which trail we ought to choose. The first part of the trail >>>

Visiting Mount Nordre Trolltind with my Son

Date:
19.09.2020
Characteristic:
Alpine trip
Duration:
7:00h
Distance:
13.1km

I had previously visited Mount Nordre Trolltinden [1452 m.a.m.s.l.] once, in order to familiarize myself with this peak, and with a few other peaks around it; including Mount Store Trolltind [1788 m.a.m.s.l.]. A dream of mine is to one day join a team of climbers in an ascent from Mount Nordre Trolltinden [i.e. "Northern Troll Peak] to Mount Store Trolltinden [i.e. "Greater Troll Peak"], as these two peaks are interconnected by a ridge that may be climbed if you’re using ropes, and have the appropriate security equipment. [For a tour description of my previous climb to Mount Nordre Trolltinden, see Reconnaissance Hike to Mount Nordre Trolltind ] On this day, my son Dag asked me to join him for a climb to Mount Nordre Trolltinden, as he had never been there. The weather forecast for the day was excellent, and so I decided >>>

To Mount Sandfjellet in Vestnes Municipality

Date:
05.09.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:51h
Distance:
10.7km

This particular hike was one that my oldest son, Dag, recommended me to do. He had himself ascended this mountain, and said it was a nice day-trip that is feasible to realize. He explained to me how to get there, and where to park the car; and before leaving home, I even consulted some tour descriptions here on Peakbook. I drove to a fjord called Tresfjorden, in Vestnes Municipality, and then continued up a valley called Rypdalen. In the upper part of Rypdalen Valley, you have to pay a fee in order to continue. Now, the easiest way to pay that fee is to use the Swish app, though there was also a mailbox in which you could drop an envelope with money inside. Once you've payed the fee, you can continue upwards along a steep and narrow graveled road that takes you all the way up to a parking lot >>>
