There's no Shame in Turning Around

Datum:
02.05.2020
Tourcharakter:
Randonnée/Telemark
Tourlänge:
3:47h
Entfernung:
9,5km

The Norwegian Mountain Code [Norw. Fjellvettreglene] is a set of rules made to ensure safe trekking and skiing in the mountains. Rule number 8 in this set of guidelines, reads Don't be ashamed to turn around. The point with this guideline, is that there are times when your survival in the mountains may depend upon your ability to change your plan. Anyone familiar with the changing weather conditions in the mountains, will know this. There are times when pressing on to reach a goal in spite of treacherous weather, and maybe in spite of bad planning, will mean inevitable death, or at least a high risk of death. On this day the weather forecast said weather was going to be cloudy, but otherwise pretty fair. I had desired for a while to ascend Mount Kyrkjetaket [i.e. "The Church Roof"] >>>

Climbing Mount Ulriken in Bergen from the Rear Side

Datum:
23.04.2020
Tourcharakter:
Hochtour
Tourlänge:
3:23h
Entfernung:
9,9km

I do not know how many times I’ve climbed Mount Ulriken in the city of Bergen. There are three commonly used trails up to the top of this mountain, one with very nice stone stairs; and then there are 4 or 5 less commonly used trails. On this occasion, however, I had decided to climb the mountain from the rear side, where there’s no trail along which you may hike. Due to the Covid19 pandemic, all indoor facilities for climbing and bouldering have been closed for the last 6 weeks or so; and as the outdoor climbing season is quickly approaching, I wanted to do some practising on a not too difficult mountain, so it won’t be too exhausting for my arms when I embark on some really high and steep mountains. I trekked around the northern side of a lake that in ancient times was called Alrekstadvatnet,

Running Across Mount Rundemanen and Mount Blåmanen

Datum:
22.04.2020
Tourcharakter:
Jogging
Tourlänge:
2:06h
Entfernung:
14,1km

I have frequently been jogging/running across Mount Rundemanen in Bergen. For the last two years I've actually done that at least once a week whenever I've been in Bergen. For the most part I've been doing this run by myself, but on this occasion I went running with two colleagues of mine. They had both been jogging on this mountain before, but they weren't as familiar with the many paths and trails as I have become during the 7 years that I've been working in Bergen. After we had made it up the valley Våkendalen to the top of Mount Rundemanen, I therefore asked the two of them if they had ever been to the summits of the neighboring Mount Blåmanen; and since neither of them had, we took of from the mountain road descending from Mount Rundemanen along the west side of Mount Blåmanen, and >>>

Telemark Skiing to Mount Breivikheia in Rauma Municipality

Datum:
18.04.2020
Tourcharakter:
Randonnée/Telemark
Tourlänge:
3:42h
Entfernung:
13,7km

I have lately been skiing a number of the mountains between the two fjords Langfjorden and Romsdalsfjorden [i.e. The Long Fjord and The Rauma Valley Fjord, respektively]. Many of the mountains on the peninsula between these two fjords are readily accessible from the parking lot at the Rauma Ski Center in Skorgedalen Valley, where space for parking is also plentiful. You do have to pay a fee in order to drive up to the parking lot, though. The ski resort was closed at the moment due to the Covid-19 pandemia closedown, but in Norway we were still allowed to use parking lots like this one, and we were still allowed to go hiking and skiing in the mountains, as long as no more than five persons were out there together. I crossed the river Skorgeelva by use of a nice bridge that have been built there >>>

Telemark Skiing to Mount Tarløysa in Rauma Municipality

Datum:
11.04.2020
Tourcharakter:
Randonnée/Telemark
Tourlänge:
2:19h
Entfernung:
8,3km

The summit of Mount Tarløysa is located 1.086 m.a.m.s.l., but you don't have to ascend more than about 675 meters to get there, as the parking lot at Nyseter is located at an elevation of about 400 meters. To get there, you go by car to a village called Sandnes, a few kilometers before you reach Åfarnes, and there, at Sandnes, you take a little gravel road up the mountain side. The road has a few hairpin bends, and you have to pay a fee of about 60 NOK to be allowed to use it; but then, after a few minutes you arrive at the parking lot at Nyseter (image #1). As may be seen on the picture, the parking lot is quite spacious, though it is also used by cabin owners in the area. Snow had been quite scarce this winter (a month later it was abundant, though); and the advantage of setting out from >>>

Telemark Skiing to Mount Smørbottinden in Rauma Municipality

Datum:
04.04.2020
Tourcharakter:
Randonnée/Telemark
Tourlänge:
2:50h
Entfernung:
8,0km

On this day I went ski touring (by Telemark skies) to the summit of Mount Smørbottind. The mountain is not extremely high, only 1188 m.a.m.s.l., but you start out from a parking lot located at 315 meters, hence you do ascend almost 900 meters as you climb the mountain. Due to the corona virus pandemic, the Norwegian society have been pretty much locked down for a few weeks. Our authorities have been encouraging hand cleaning and social distancing, as in most countries these days; and we are currently not allowed to travel abroad. Fortunately, though, we do have a lot of nice mountains in our own country, and the authorities have so far not imposed a curfew upon us. They discourage climbs in the higher mountains, as rescue resources may be limited these days, but it’s considered OK to climb >>>

Mountain skiing to Mount Skarven in Rauma Municipality

Datum:
28.03.2020
Tourcharakter:
Randonnée/Telemark
Tourlänge:
3:13h
Entfernung:
7,0km

I've named this trip "Mountain skiing to Mount Skarven...", as it was neither a pure Telemark trip, nor was it a pure alpine touring ski trip. It was combined. My son Dag was testing out his touring ski equipment for first time, whereas I was still using my old Telemark equipment. We went to Skorgedalen in Rauma municipality in my son's car, and parked the car at the parking lot in the valley. The parking lot serves a little ski resort in the valley, as well as the many cabins / holiday cottages surrounding it; but the parking lot is huge, and the ski resort was currently closed due to the Covid-19 pandemia, hence finding a spot to park our car was no problem. We got our equipment on, and started out. The ski trail towards Mount Skarven started right there, hence we didn't have to >>>

Telemark Skiing to Mount Litleskjerdingen

Datum:
15.02.2020
Tourcharakter:
Randonnée/Telemark
Tourlänge:
3:55h
Entfernung:
8,4km

On this particular afternoon I actually intended to go skiing to Mount Blåskjerdingen, but while on my way up there I had to change my destination slightly due to lack of snow. Mount Blåskjerdingen is quite steep on most sides, with snow shelves and a high risk of avalanches here and there, but the south ridge of the mountain is less steep, and is located on the windward side of the mountain ; hence you're unlikely to run into an avalanche when ascending along that ridge, and so, as long as you stick to the south ridge, Mount Blåskjerdingen is considered a relatively safe mountain for winter skiing (as long as you don't go upon the large snow shelves on the east side [i.e. the leeward side] of the summit area). On the other hand, as the south ridge is located on the windward side, snow tends >>>

Skiing to Mount Høgsvora along with my daughter

Datum:
08.02.2020
Tourcharakter:
Randonnée/Telemark
Tourlänge:
3:57h
Entfernung:
11,9km

Mount Høgsvora in the county of Møre & Romsdal is considered a relatively safe mountain to go ski touring as far as the avalanche risk is concerned, as long as you ascend the mountain along the usual route, i.e. the one you'll find on our GPS tracking of this trip. We drove to a camping site of Svarttjønnhaugen in a valley called Vaksvikdalen , me and my daughter Vår vaarsolholm (Vår Solholm) . This camping site has some cabins for hire, but the important thing for us was that they allow people to park on their site for a little fee, even if you're not going to hire a cabin or a spot for your tent; and once you've paid the fee, you're free to use their toilet facilities, which may be nice when you get back down from the mountain. When snow is scarce, you may drive all the way up to Sollisætra, which I once did >>>

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 >>>
