Five summits west and one east of Norddalen

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
8:12h
Entfernung:
28,8km

After spending Saturday at Varaldsøy with petter (Petter Bjørstad) , we agreed to also take full advantage of the perfect weather forecast for the following Sunday. Petter therefore picked me up at 07:00 for a drive to Norddalen where the plan was to make use of the excellent skiing conditions to visit as many peaks as possible, mainly on the west side of the valley. Upon arriving, the sun was shining from a cloudless blue sky and there was next to no wind. Plenty of snow still in the area and after finding parking next to the road, the skis could be put on as soon as we left the road. We first followed the valley on the west side of the river, before finding a safe and straightforward ascent to the summit of Eggane . From there we struggled a bit to find the best route down to Martastølen, as there were a couple of steep >>>

Dueskardhøgdi and Lingesetfjellet from Haukåsen

Entfernung:

The small free parking lot at the start of the ski trail was full. Hence we had to park at the larger parking lot next to the airport. (Note that if installing an app it is apparently possible to get a discount on the parking fee when going hiking or skiing. We however did not notice this until it was too late. See the small poster when entering the parking lot for more details.) From the parking lot we walked the short distance to the trailhead where we put on the skis and followed the snow-covered gravel road up to Lingesete . The road continued beyond Lingesete, but as we passed south of Lingesetfjellet it started to feel a lot more like backcountry skiing. There should be a trail all the way to the summit in the summer time though. The summit provided spectacular panoramic views and, with next to no wind, a very >>>

Vardafjellet, Bjørnafjellet and Storanosi

Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
5:23h
Entfernung:
21,5km

Skiing trip organized by The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) , or more specifically Voss Utferdslag , with bus transportation from Voss to the parking lot in Brandset and later back to Voss from Ospehaugen p-plass . We started out in excellent sunny weather that was bordering on too warm, but as we ascended towards Vardafjellet the wind started to pick up, so much that we had to delay the lunch break. Initially we were going to pass just north of the summit of Vardafjellet, but after asking nicely, I was allowed to shortly leave the group for a short detour on my own to visit the summit. I quickly returned to the group and we descended to Prinsabotnskaret for a late lunch break in shelter of the strongest wind. Just as we got ready for the ascent to Bjørnafjellet , one of the participants lost her sit pad to the wind and we saw it tumbling over the ridge to the north and disappearing. After a visit of the summit of >>>

Småbrekkebukken from Småbrekkene

Tourlänge:

Entfernung:
16,9km

For more than a year, Småbrekkebukken had been my last remaining summit on the Samnanger ≥ 100m pf. list . So when The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) , or more specifically Voss Utferdslag , organized a guided skiing trip, I was of course among the first to sign up. After taking the train to Voss, I joined the others at Holbergsplass, from where we carpooled to Småbrekkene to start the real trip. We initially followed the marked trail/road towards Gullhorgabu , but after a short break northeast of Småbrekkebukken, we had left the marked trail and instead continued up the valley northwest of the summit. Here we came across an area where most of the snow had been removed by strong winds, and we therefore had to backtrack a bit to find a slightly different route than planned. This however did not present any real issues and after a large U-turn to avoid the steepest areas we soon arrived at the summit, which >>>

Livarden from Frotveit via Rambjørgvatnet

Initial plans to ski across Vidden with a colleague was changed at the last minute due to strong northerly winds and we instead headed for Frotveit and Livarden . This turned out to be a good choice, as except for the final ascent to the summit we pretty much avoided the cold wind. The snow conditions were highly variable. Excellent along the ski tracks, icy in the areas northeast and south of the summit, and everything in between for the descent. Overall, a very nice roundtrip that can be highly recommended.

Skiing: Fløyen and Rundemanen

Left work early to take advantage of the excellent afternoon weather forecast to go skiing. I started by taking the bus to Starefossen and walked up to Skomakerdiket. The skis came on just below Skomakerdiket and stayed on until the small dam north of Storevatnet. Perfect skiing conditions between Rundemanen and Blåmanen, except for a strong and cold wind from the north. Lysløypen was also quite good. Outside of those areas there was plenty of hard snow/ice with lots of footprints that made skiing slightly more difficult than usual.
