Førdesveten from Vorland

Datum:
18.03.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
11,0km

We decided to hike Førdesveten in the south of Sotra and planned for an approach from the northwest (from Vorland). After driving south from Fjell, we parked along Sundvegen, where one also finds the head of a trail that leads through Grøndalen into the direction of Vorlandsvatnet. Using this trail, we approached Vorlandsvatnet at Vassvika from the northwest, following a trail that passes by Vorlandsvatnet in its northeast. This is a nice and convenient trail that leads all the way to the southern-most point of Vorlandsvatnet. There, one could "back out", again, following a gravel road towards the west. Instead, we entered the little valley that comes down there from the south (mostly). After only about 100m into this valley, we ascended (kind of steeply) to the southeast, >>>

Lyderhorn in significant snow

Wanderung
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
3,0km

Given all the snow and also the varied weather forecast, we decided to do something not so long. Being not so far away, and always a nice hike, we decided to hike up and down Lyderhorn. We parked on the western side (along Kjøkkelvikveien) and headed towards the trail up to Små-Lyderhorn (first) through Olderdalen. Very quickly it became clear that this hike would be different from what we usually experience (due to all the snow!). At first, some steps of another person could be still recognized in the snow, but this person had decided about half-way up to turn around, apparently. Continuing further upwards was then a nice challenge, breaking quite a bit into the deep snow at every step. Up at the saddle next to Små-Lyderhorn, we then decided to put on brodders ("light form of >>>

Gråfjellet via Solbjørgfjellet from Rolsvåg

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
6:00h
Entfernung:
14,2km

Expecting a nice day, we made a plan for a hike that would not lead us up into all too much snow. Having seen that Botnahytto (in the southwest of Rolsvåg, north of Os) was registered as war memorial, also, we decided to explore this area, including Gråfjellet in the east of Øvredalsvatnet. We had seen that others had taken the forest road from Rolsvåg (passing Rolsvågvatnet, also called Storavatnet, in its north) to get into the valley with Langavatnet and Botnavatnet. Motivated to make this a round, instead, we decided to start our hike in the south of Rolsvågvatnet, aiming for Solbjørgfjellet first. We parked very near to Rolsvågvatnet (on the east of it) and stepped into the terrain south of Rolsvågvatnet more or less "at once". The ground was still quite a bit frozen, >>>

Hæddena, Orrkleivhaugen, and Åsheimfjellet

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
8,2km

We thought that Osterøy would be nice for another hike and so we chose Hæddena right north of the bridge to Osterøy as our goal for the day. This time, however, we wished to get there via the nice-looking ridge, which is directly about the long tunnel of Osterøyvegen (basically the continuation of the bridge). The map had suggested that a simple trail should be leading up there, as well. We parked right after driving through "the other tunnel" (of Hausvegen, "only" some 150m long, or so) and aimed at taking this trail up to the ridge. In order to do so, one should first follow the northbound trail (into the direction of Haus) up to Vikno (or almost all the way there), before then turning around and up a gentle ridge. Instead, we turned right way earlier, ending >>>

Borga in quite some snow

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:00h
Entfernung:
10,5km

There was quite some snow to expect and since we still wished to hike, we aimed at choosing a route that would be possible to hike well, even without snoeshoes. Estimating that Borga should still be fine, we drove to the other side of Vidden and parked along Kvamsvegen near Austrestølane. From there, we first hiked up Sauhola, already stepping through a substantial layer of snow. Once up to Bjørndalen and back to the gravel road that also leads up here (offering a less steep, alternative route up), we turned left and crossed over the stream that continues down Sauhola. Now in a southward direction (towards Nedstaflåna), we started to surround Bjørndalen in its south with the goal to find a suitable route up to Borga in the southwest of Bjørndalen. At first, up to about 400masl, this >>>

Ulvenfjellet and Vardafjellet

Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
5,7km

It had been a (quite long) while since we last had visited Ulvenfjellet near Os (almost 15 years). This time, we considered an ascent from its northside, starting at Drangsvegen. We found a suitable place for parking near the bridge over Vikelva. From there, the first goal was to get up to Søvikfjellet. We ascended more or less directly up towards Søvikfjellet (without a trail and across relatively steep terrain). Doing so, we also crossed over a forest road that comes up from Helleskaret, providing another (less adventurous) way up. Once on the heights of Søvikfjellet, we aimed at Gaddhaugen as our next goal. While heading there, we connected (for a short stretch of our hike) with the trail, which is the extension of the forest road that we had crossed a bit further down. To get >>>

Liafjellet, Strandafjellet, and Ravnefjellet

Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
4,5km

We biked to the northwestern end of Løvstien at Øvre Riplegården and started our exploration from there. We first ascended to the ridge in the west of Nilsadalen, following it then towards the south (and upwards). When eventually close to Ravnefjellet (in the west), we crossed over (towards the east) to get up to the southern top of Liafjellet. From there, we connected to the northern top of Liafjellet. Next, we aimed at Strandafjellet via Juvdalen. The descent from Liafjellet into Juvdalen was a bit steep, but still OK. Once in Juvdalen, we descended just a bit more to get up to the northern ridge of Strandafjellet without any climbing. Ascending to Strandafjellet via its northern ridge was then straight-forward and nice. From Strandafjellet, we then connected back to Liafjellet, >>>

Olsokfjellet, Damsgårdsfjellet, and Gravdalsfjellet

Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
6,6km

With limited time available, we decided to do a short hike not far from home. We parked next to Betanien in the north of Fyllingsdalen and started our hike in the direction of Nordnæsdalen. Next the playing field next to Nordnæshytten, we turned right and started our ascent towards Olsokfjellet from there. Due to the snow and ice, it was good to use brodder (light version of crampons). From Olsokfjellet, we then continued to Damsgårdsfjellet (around Tverrdalen). Via Skaret, we then continued further into the direction of Gravdalsfjellet, including also Holefjellet and Nygårdsnipa. From Gravdalsfjellet, we then took a trail down into Espedalen (without passing by Viggohytten first). From there, it was then right back to the car. Really nice to have the opportunity for such a nice >>>

Hisdalen from Rød

4:00h
Entfernung:
8,4km

I had never passed by Rosemyrane in the west of Fanafjellet, so why not hiking into Hisdalen via Rosemyrane? I parked along the road from Fana to Krokeide near Rød and entered the terrain behind house 432, where I had seen something like an old trail before (you need a bit of phantasy, though, to respect it as a trail). This way, I got to the saddle in the west of Rødsaksla quickly and easily, entering the valley with Rosemyrane from its north there. Keeping to the east-side of this valley, I could nicely pass by Rosemyrane without getting all too wet shoes right in the beginning of this hike. :-) Not ascending much, altogether, I continued somewhat in southwestern direction (southeast of Vasslibekken). Instead of descending to Austrevågen at house 110, I tried to find a "half-high" >>>

xMas hike to Fyllingsnipa

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
5,2km

We started from the parking place at the northern end of Spelhaugen, heading for Eikelifjellet, first. Once across Eikelifjellet, we decided that it was the right day for exploring Fyllingsnipa -- a hill that we usually just pass by. To get there, we crossed over the valley in the east of Eikelifjellet a bit northwest of Tøshaugen, then ascending up to Fyllingsnipa from its south (this ascent is well possible, but a bit steep at times). From Fyllingsnipa, we then continued further northwards, passing by Nipetjørna on its western side. This brought us to a side-top of Lyngbønipa, where we had a good overview of Nipedalen and further towards the west. Thereafter, we just returned back to our car, taking a different route back (a bit further to the west). Selected photos are available as >>>
