To Mount Svarttinden and Mount Jamtetinden

Datum:
05.06.2021
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:32h
Entfernung:
12,8km

On this day we drove to the Valley of Vistdal in the eastern part of the county of Møre & Romsdal, intending to hike to a peak called Svarttinden [i.e. "The Black Peak"]. We followed some online instructions that my son had found for this particular trek, and left the county road for a gravel road about midway in the valley (see map). We followed this road past a farm or two and into the forrest; where we parked at a large clearing in the forrest where the forrest road made its first hairpin-bend. This parking lot is located at about 170 m.a.m.s.l., and from there the gravel road climbs up the mountain side to about 500 m.a.m.s.l., making a total of 8 hairpin bends; and where the road ends, the trail continues as an ordinary forrest path. We followed the road and then the trail >>>

To Mount Storheimshornet with my Son Dag

Datum:
29.05.2021
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
8:24h
Entfernung:
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

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:05h
Entfernung:
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

Datum:
09.05.2021
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:32h
Entfernung:
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

Datum:
01.05.2021
Tourcharakter:
Randonnée/Telemark
Tourlänge:
4:43h
Entfernung:
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 >>>

Tour Skiing to Mount Fingeren with my Daughter

Datum:
25.04.2021
Tourlänge:
2:58h
Entfernung:
6,9km

This morning my daughter suggested to me that we make a ski tour to Mount Fingeren. This mountain is actually just a peak on the southwest ridge of the much greater Mount Kolåstinden, but it has become a popular destination for ski touring during winter, as well as for hiking in summer. During the winter season it is common just to go skiing up to a viewpoint just northeast of the peak; whereas during summer, and especially so when weather is nice, it is actually possible to climb up to the summit of the peak itself. The trail most commonly used to the summit of Mount Kolåstinden, however, goes on the opposite side of the mountain, and actually crosses a glacier on its way up to the summit. The peak on the southeast ridge has been named "The Finger", because it looks like a third >>>

Alpine Ski Tour to Mount Litleskjerdingen with my Daughter

Datum:
24.04.2021
Tourlänge:
3:40h
Entfernung:
9,3km

I have ascended Mount Blåskjerdingen [1069 m.a.m.s.l.] multiple times, on foot during summer, as well as on skis during winter; thought I have to point out that we’re generally satisfied with visiting the south summit [1061 m.a.m.s.l.] of the mountain during winter, as the north, or main summit, is generally inaccessible when you go skiing. And so, the south peak of the mountain was actually our goal even on this occasion. Nevertheless, on this particular day, my daughter and I ended up with turning around at about 800 m.a.m.s.l.; and so we didn't actually reach any of the two summits of Mount Skjerdingen/Blåskjerdingen. When ascending Mount Blåskjerdingen, we usually park at a little parking lot located at about 214 m.a.m.s.l. in the valley called Vatnedalen (se map / GPS tracking). On >>>

Tour Skiing to Mount Skjorta by the Fjord of Eresfjord

Datum:
17.04.2021
Tourcharakter:
Randonnée/Telemark
Tourlänge:
5:46h
Entfernung:
13,3km

There hadn't been that much snow earlier this season, and most of our ski trips this winter had resulted in some damage to our skis due to the presence of stones just beneath the surface of the snow. Some years, however, we do get more snow in April than we've had in January and February, due to polar low pressure systems that bring snow and cold weather from the polar front [i.e. a weather system around the North Pole]; and so even this year, we got about three rounds of snow in April, allowing us to have a few more ski tours, even as summer was actually approaching. My son suggested we go for Mount Skjorta [i.e. "The Shirt"] this weekend, as he had read about it in an online ski and alpine forum just a few days earlier, and so we agreed to give the mountain a try. It took us about >>>

Alpine Tour Skiing to Mount Hesten

Datum:
27.03.2021
Tourlänge:
5:22h
Entfernung:
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

Datum:
13.03.2021
Tourcharakter:
Randonnée/Telemark
Tourlänge:
2:47h
Entfernung:
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 >>>
