Alpine Tour Skiing to Mount Hesten

Date:
27.03.2021
Duration:
5:22h
Distance:
12.1km

My son and I tried to reach the summit of Mount Hesten [i.e. “The Horse”] on skis even some weeks ahead of this day’s skiing tour, but as we started out too late in the afternoon, and darkness also came very early at that time of the year; we only reached a viewpoint on the west ridge of the mountain on that day. [For a description of that tour, follow this link: Attempt at Ski Touring to Mount Hesten in Rauma Municipality ]. On this day, therefore, we started driving from home much earlier, in order to get an earlier start; and combined with the slightly longer days that we have by now, we believed it should be easier to reach the summit on this day. We parked at Herdslan Parking Lot as on the previous occasion, but on this day there was not much snow in the forest along the road; and so we carried our skis, and walked up to another parking lot, >>>

Alpine Tour Skiing to Mount Høgenibba in Volda Municipality

Date:
13.03.2021
Characteristic:
Randonnée/Telemark
Duration:
2:47h
Distance:
8.2km

Earlier this winter, my son had read a tour description for alpine skiing to the summit of Mount Høgenibba in Volda Municipality in the County of Møre & Romsdal. Vi did indeed go to the skiing center in Horningdalen Valley in mid December, intending to ascend the mountain on skis; but on that occasion we ended up with ascending another mountain, as snow was way too scarce in Horningdalen Valley at that time. But on this day we decided to go back there, to make a new attempt, and at this time there was much more snow than it was on the previous occasion. There was sure no abundance of snow in the lower part of the trail, but at lest enough to embark upon our tour as we had planned before leaving home. Horningdal Skiing Centre is a downhill alpine skiing arena with a little drag lift climbing >>>
