Hiking to Mount Honndalsrokken with My Oldest Son

Datum:
29.08.2020
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
8:24h
Entfernung:
18,6km

On this day my son Dag asked me to join him for a hike to Mount Honndalsrokken . This mountain is widely known in our part of Norway, as its characteristic spikelike shape may be spotted from afar. The name of the mountain is actually also derived from its shape: The spikelike summit of the mountain looks a bit like the spindle of a traditional spinning wheel, and rokk is the Norwegian word for such a spinning wheel. [Officially, the mountain is actually called Hornindalsrokken, but most locals refer to it as Honndalsrokken]. I have for several years been thinking of hiking this mountain, and so I immediately agreed to his suggestion, and went with him. We parked our car in the parking lot just by Honndøla Bru, i.e. the bridge across Honndøla River (see image ##1 and 26), and from there we >>>

Hiking to Mount Geitnausa with my daughter

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:21h
Entfernung:
8,1km

The town of Ålesund is located on four islands in the county of Møre & Romsdal, beautifully, in between fjords and mountains. One of the four islands, the one called Uksenøya, has a mountain ridge generally referred to as Emblemsfjellet [i.e. the Emblem mountain, after a village called Emblem on the south side of the mountain. This mountain actually have a number of peaks, i.e. Høgkubben, Geitnausa, Vasstrandegga and Merafta . Now, I've actually been to all of these summits, but the advantage of this mountain is that it is close to the town, and it's easy to get there whenever you want to. So, we drove to a place called Myrdalen, in the part of the town that is called Spjelkavika; and then we set out from there, aiming for the peak called Geitnausa. There actually is a nice forest road >>>

To Mount Vasstrandegga in Rainy Weather

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:45h
Entfernung:
13,7km

We had a hike to the mountain called Vasstrandegga on this day, my son and I. We started out from a parking lot in a hollow called Sirigrova . This parking lot is mainly used by trekkers intending to ascend one of the nearby mountains, hence it wasn't the first time we parked there. There's a little mountain road winding its way through the valley Østremsdalen up to a cluster of cottages called Østremssætra , once used for caretakers of domestic animals (mainly sheep) when they were grazing in the mountains during summer. We followed the road up to Østremssætra, then took left along a tiny forest path, which we followed upwards into the mountains. We lost the trail at some point during our climb, due to some slight amount of snow here and there, but it didn't really matter much, as we had >>>

Another Hike to Mount Gamlemsveten

Datum:

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
2:42h
Entfernung:
9,4km

In winter time, whenever snow is to scarce for mountain skiing, and yet too abundant for an ordinary mountain hike on foot; then Mount Gamlemsveten is a very good option. There has been built a huge TV broadcasting antenna at the very summit, and there are even some other telecommunication installations up there as well. A construction road was once built up to the summit for the purpose of bringing material like plank, concrete and iron up there when the TV antenna was built; hence even when there's quite some snow, the ground beneath is pretty even, and not as stony as it usually is in mountains like this. On the other hand, the road up there is usually not plowed, and cars are not allowed apart from those that take part in maintenance work on the installations up there; hence you are very >>>

Icy Hike to the Peaks Litlehornet and Uggedalshornet

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
1:49h
Entfernung:
5,5km

We have ascended Mount Gamlemsveten multiple times, my son and I but there have been a number of smaller mountains around Gamlemsveten that we haven't climbed yet; or at least I haven't, as my son have climbed a lot of mountains that I have yet to climb. So, we decided on this day to climb some of the nearby less-than-500-meters mountains, and took my son's car to the usual parking lot in Søvikdalen valley. The initial part of the route was the same as when we climbed Mount Storehornet and Mount Skålbotsheia 3 weeks earlier; i.e. you pass by a shooting range located about 800 meters from the parking lot, and then climb up from the innermost "bottom" of the valley, into a hanging valley called Engsetskaret and located at an elevation about 200 meters above the main valley [i.e. about >>>

Winter Hike to Mount Tverrfjellet on Sula Island

Datum:
21.12.2019
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:18h
Entfernung:
11,7km

It was only 3 weeks since last time I ascended Mount Sulafjellet with my son, and yet we decided to go there again, as we regard this trip as a good workout. My youngest daughter vaarsolholm (Vår Solholm) also came along with us on this occasion. As previously, we walked the forest road up to Rollonhytta Cabin, and from there we just followed the mountain path that continues up to the summit of the mountain. Snow was less abundant now, compared to what it was three weeks ago; hence the cairns that mark the trail were easy to spot, and it was, therefore, much easier to follow the trail up to the summit of the mountain. We just shot a few pictures while at the top of the mountain, and then went back down to our car at Mauseid parking lot.

To Mount Gamlemsveten in Not So Much Snow

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
2:21h
Entfernung:
9,0km

The amount of snow along the Norwegian west coast is varying quite much throughout the winter, as well as from one winter to another. Typically, low pressure weather systems that come in from the northwest bring snow, whereas those coming in from the southwest bring rain; and so the snow may come and go as the whether changes. On this day, therefore there was some snow in the mountains along the coast, but not very much. We've climbed Mount Gamlemsveten many times, my son Dag and I, so this is a very familiar mountain to us; especially to Dag, as he has climbed it many more times than what I have done. I did, however, once even climb it on a 29" Gary Fisher bicycle; something he hasn't done; hence I tend to claim it's a little bit my mountain too... We drove to the usual parking lot in >>>

I have previously visited many of the mountains in the municipality of Haram , a municipality that is soon to be merged with the town of Ålesund. While ascending mount Tverrbotshornet and mount Gamlemsveten, I have been looking at a number of smaller peaks and mountains in the vicinity, desiring to ascend even them. My son Dag had been on most of them, however, and on this day he agreed to take me up to one or two of them. (During summer, I could've found my way up there by myself, but on this day there was about 30 cm of snow along most of the route, hence you wouldn't be able to follow the trail unless you knew where it was). We drove to Søvikdalen parking lot, and started trekking from there. We followed a forest road further into the valley. After about 800 meters, we came to a shooting >>>

To Mount Sulafjellet in Somewhat Deep Snow

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
3:15h
Entfernung:
11,8km

I went hiking on Mount Sulafjellet on the island of Sula with my oldest son this day. We started out from the parking spot at Mauseid, and followed the forest road up to a cabin called Rollonhytta (390 m.a.m.s.l.). At this cabin the forest road as well as the forest ends, but there is a narrow path or trail that you may usually follow further up the mountain, and so we did for a km or so. At that point, however we lost the path. There was a lot of snow in the mountain side on this day, hence much of the time we couldn't actually see the path. The trail is, however, marked by small cairns all along its course, and this had helped us until the snow became so deep that the cairns disappeared beneath them. We've been on this mountain many times before, however, so we just continued in somewhat >>>

Climbing the Meche Awoknesh Mountain

Tourlänge:
2:21h
Entfernung:
5,6km

As we had skipped the hike to the village of Amiwalka (see previous tour description), we were now having one day of mountain trekking left, that we had already paid for, despite being back at the Chennek camp site. In my mind we were having two options for this day: We could either climb the Meche Awoknesh mountain, which is located just east of the camp site; or we could go for Mount Enatye, which is west of the camp site. I had previously climbed both of these mountains (i.e. in 2018), whereas my daughter, who was with me on this tour, hadn’t been on any of them. The Enatye must be said to be a mountain by itself, as it has an elevation of 4070 m.a.m.s.l., and a vertical separation of just a little less than 500 meters; though it is located within a mountain range that also includes Imet >>>
