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 >>>

To Mount Grøtshornet with my Son Dag

Datum:
27.02.2021
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:28h
Entfernung:
10,5km

I have on one previous occasion ascended Mount Grøthornet along with my oldest son and my youngest daughter, but on that occasion the weather was so rainy and foggy that we didn't see a thing from up there; so when my son now asked me if I'd like to have another hike up there, I immediately responded with a "yes". And so we went by car to a location called Vatneeidet (see map), and parked outside the supermarket there. (The parking lot is, strictly speaking, reserved for customers at the supermarket and some nearby stores; but they don't have that many customers on Saturdays, so it's very unlikely that they will have your car removed). Setting out from the parking lot, we crossed county road 661, and then followed an old forest road in a westward direction (see GPS tracking). After >>>

Moonlight Hike on Mount Ulriken

Datum:
27.01.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:11h
Entfernung:
4,4km

The city of Bergen, on the west coast of Norway, has traditionally been named The City Between the Seven Mountains . There has always been some discussions about which mountains should actually be counted among the seven, as you have several options; but it is generally agreed that Mount Ulriken is definitely one of them. The elevation of the summit is 643 m.a.m.s.l., with a vertical separation of only 40 meters. The summit isn't actually visible from downtown Bergen, however, so the peak or "top" that people generally refer to when they talk about Mount Ulriken, is the west peak, which has an elevation of 607 meters and a vertical separation of 19 meters. Moreover, this western peak of the mountain has a splendid viewpoint overlooking most of the city of Bergen, it has a nice little >>>

To Mount Sulafjellet in Bad Weather

Datum:
09.01.2021
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:46h
Entfernung:
11,4km

Mount Sulafjellet is a mountain that I've ascended multiple times, and yet I will probably ascend that mountain even more times in the future; as it is not too far away from where we live, and also because it's feasible to climb even when there's too much snow to climb many other mountains around here. The mountain has several peaks, the highest of which has been named Tverrfjellet [i.e. "The Transverse Mountain"], though most people today just call it Vardane [i.e. "The Cairns"], due to the many cairns that mountain hikers have built up there. The most feasible way to ascend this mountain is to start out from the parking lot at Mauseid (see map), and then follow a gravel road through the forests up to a cottage called Rollonhytta . The parking lot is located at about 50 m.a.m.s.l.; >>>

Tourlänge:

Winter had definitely arrived by now, and there was snow up in the higher mountains, especially in inland areas; though it was still not enough snow for skiing in most places. There had been some snow in October and November, but then most of it had disappeared again. Nevertheless, many of the smaller mountains in the coastal area were currently without snow (or without any amount worth mentioning), and so on this day my son and I opted for two of the peaks on an island called Otrøya . So, we drove to the village of Brattvåg, and went by the ferry over to the tiny island of Dryna. Dryna is connected to the larger island called Midøya with a little bridge, and Midøya is in turn connected to Otrøya Island with an even larger bridge (see map). I had previously never ascended any of the many >>>

To Mount Gryta in Stryn Municipality

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
7,4km

On this day, there was some snow in the mountains, though not enough for skiing; at least most places. So my son and I opted for a mountain that we could ascend on foot on this day, and we were of course prepared to do the walk in snow about halfway up to our knees. A mountain well suited for such a trek, was Mount Gryta in Stryn Municipality in the County of Vestland. So we went to Stryn by car, and used Google map to find our way to Stryn Vinterskisenter [i.e. "Stryn Winter Skiing Center"]. This skiing center has been so named, because there is another one, much higher up in the mountains, that carries the name Stryn Sommerskisenter [i.e "Stryn Summer Skiing Center"]. From the parking lot at the ski centre, we followed a road through a cabin village called Bøasetra; a >>>

Til Niusen på Skøye med Dag

Datum:
21.11.2020
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:17h
Entfernung:
7,8km

Det hadde nylig falt en del snø, slik at det i de høye fjellene var for mye snø til å gå vanlige fjellturer, men samtidig var det fortsatt for lite med tanke på å skulle gå på ski. Så da foreslo eldstegutten min at vi kunne gå på Nihusen på skøye. Dette fjellet er ikke særlig høyt, bare 438 høydemeter, så man kommer seg alltids både opp og ned igjen, selv om det er litt glatt, og man bruker litt tid på turen. Vi kjørte til Skodje [lokal utt.: Skøye], og parkerte på parkeringsplassen bak rådhuset og legekontoret (se kart), og derfra fulgte vi Nihusvegen opp til skogen. Min sønn hadde vært på Nihusen før, og visste vegen, men med en god turbeskrivelse skulle det uansett ikke ha vært vanskelig å finne stien vi skulle følge gjennom skogen og opp på fjellet. Stien >>>

To Mount Saudehornet in Ørsta Municipality

Tourcharakter:
Hochtour
Tourlänge:
4:20h
Entfernung:
10,4km

It had been snowing in the mountains lately, and so for this days mountain trek, we had been trying to pick a mountain not too high; in order to stay below the snow. And, as my son Dag had lately read a tour description about a mountain called Kyrkjetinden [i.e. "The Church Peak"] in Ørsta municipality in the County of Møre & Romsdal, we decided to go there. Kyrkjetinden is a peak located just about 6 kilometers or so from the town center of Ørsta, and it has an elevation of 1069 m.a.m.s.l.; and was thus located well beneath the altitude down to which the snow reached at this time. We drove to Ørsta, and parked at a little parking lot by a road called Fonnavegen, just by a training ground for dogs, which is located between this road and a little river located just there. There >>>

To Mount Breitinden and Mount Mannen with my Son

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Hochtour
Tourlänge:
7:04h
Entfernung:
16,1km

We did set out for the Mountain called Breitinden [i.e. "The Broad Peak"] one week prior to this trip, but we never reached it on that day, mainly because we had limited time available; so on this day we decided to make a new attempt. Moreover, in order not to fail a second time, we opted for a more regular route this time; and so we set out from the Trollstigen Tourist Center, into the valley called Stigebotnen (see map). From this valley we climbed onto the mountain ridge that interconnects Mount Storgrovfjellet and Mount Breitinden, and thereafter we followed that ridge up to the top of Mount Breitinden. As you're coming up on the edge of this mountain ridge, you get a very good view of the peaks that the locals call the Troll Peaks [Norwegian: "Trolltindan"] i.e. the >>>

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
5:17h
Entfernung:
13,1km

On this particular day, I went mountain hiking with my oldest son and my youngest daughter. We discussed in advance where to go, and then my daughter came up with the suggestion of Mount Klovetinden [945 m.a.m.s.l.] in Ørsta Municipality, and the rest of us had no objection to it. We went with my daughter’s car to the ferry quay at Solevågseidet, crossed the fjord by the ferry; and then continued by car to the bay called Barstadvika, and then up to a cabin area called Barstadsætra, located about 190 m.a.m.s.l. (see map). We parked the car at the parking lot by the river, and then started hiking up the mountain along a nice, well marked, and readily visible trail. My daughter had been hiking in this area before, and new very well which trail we ought to choose. The first part of the trail >>>
