To Mount Storheimshornet with my Son Dag

Date:
29.05.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
8:24h
Distance:
18.3km

It was my son who suggested Mount Storheimshornet for this day's hike. He had read about the mountain on a web site, and so we went to Stordalen Valley this morning, from where the hike goes. According to the web site, the best place to park when hiking this mountain, would be at Mo Bedehus [i.e. "Mo Prayer House"]. The little place called Mo was easy enough to find, but locating the Prayer House was a little bit more tricky, simply because it didn't look like a prayer house, but more like an ordinary house. (A Norwegian Prayer House is a religious building without the pomp and splendor of a Church, and is usually operated by lay people and not by clergymen). At the Prayer House parking lot you could conveniently pay for the parking using instant money transfer by use of the Norwegian >>>

Hiking to Mount Grisetskolten with my Son

Date:
16.05.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:05h
Distance:
7.7km

Mount Grisetskolten [1068 m.a.m.s.l.] is a mountain in the municipality of Rauma, in the county of Møre & Romsdal on the west coast of Norway. I have previously visited a number of mountains in this area, but not Mount Grisetskolten. My son, however, had visited it once before; and so on this Sunday, he offered to take me there. Video #1: Waterfall of the Tverråa River. We went by car to the fjord called Innfjorden, and drove up the mountain side along a narrow forest road, that took us up to a little parking lot above a farm called Griset, after which Mount Grisetskolten has actually been named. We started trekking almost immediately after we arrived there. The trail was well marked and the first part of it was also readily visible. The trail took us through forest, mainly birch forest, >>>

Hiking to Mount Hornelen with my Son

Date:
09.05.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:32h
Distance:
13.4km

On this day, my son and I were driving from Ålesund to Bergen, on the west coast of Norway, and so we had discussed in advance of our journey, to have a break from driving, and ascend some mountain while on our way to Bergen; and our choice fell on Mount Hornelen in the municipality of Bremanger, as we had been told that it is the highest ocean cliff in Europe, and that it could be a little bit challenging to ascend. We drove along county road 61 south to the little coastal town of Måløy (image #1), from where we crossed over to the island of Bremanger by ferry (images ## 1 & 2). We disembarked the ferry at the Oldeide ferry quai, and drove to a parking lot at a spot called Hornskor (image #3), where we parked our car, and started our trek. The very first part of the trail had been nicely >>>

Tour Skiing to Mount Kragefjellet with my Son

Date:
01.05.2021
Characteristic:
Randonnée/Telemark
Duration:
4:43h
Distance:
12.2km

On this occasion, my son had read online a few days earlier, that it was still possible to go skiing to Mount Kragefjellet in the municipality of Stryn in the county of Vestland, and so we went to the site by car. Now, this municipality has two skiing centers, i.e. there is Stryn Summer Skiing Centre, and then there is Stryn Winter Skiing Centre; and in order to climb Mount Kragefjellet, the convenient place to park your car is at the winter skiing centre [the summer skiing centre is at a totally different location much higher up in the mountains]. As we parked at the winter skiing centre, we realized that snow was much more scarce than we had anticipated; i.e. it was not even enough to keep the skiing centre open. Nevertheless, there was a narrow strip of snow along the trail of the ski lift >>>
