To Mount Grøtshornet with my Son Dag
- Date:
- 27.02.2021
- Characteristic:
- Hike
- Duration:
- 3:28h
- Distance:
- 10.5km
I have on one previous occasion ascended Mount Grøthornet along with my oldest son and my youngest daughter, but on that occasion the weather was so rainy and foggy that we didn't see a thing from up there; so when my son now asked me if I'd like to have another hike up there, I immediately responded with a "yes". And so we went by car to a location called Vatneeidet (see map), and parked outside the supermarket there. (The parking lot is, strictly speaking, reserved for customers at the supermarket and some nearby stores; but they don't have that many customers on Saturdays, so it's very unlikely that they will have your car removed). Setting out from the parking lot, we crossed county road 661, and then followed an old forest road in a westward direction (see GPS tracking). After >>>
Alpine Tour Skiing to Mount Bergsetnakken
- Date:

- Characteristic:
- Randonnée/Telemark
- Duration:

- Distance:
- 7.2km

And so took the roughly 3 hours drive by car, and arrived at Blaksæter in Stryn, where we parked our car at Kjennhaugmyra Parking Lot . The location was indeed very nice. After leaving County road 698, which follows the fjord called Nordfjord, you climb up the mountainside by car, following a rather narrow farmland road that has a number of hairpin bends; and then all of a sudden you're there. Stryn Winter Camp School is located in a building at this site, and in the slopes above it, Bjørkelibakken Ski Jump Arena is located (Images ## 3, 4 & 5). We put our boot and skis on, and started going upwards to the left of the ski jumps. At one point we must've missed >>>
