Cycling trip that also included a visit of Storakvitefjellet. Started by following the standard cycling route to Søfteland, where I turned southwest up the very steep Langedalen. Next, I passed by the ruins at Lysekloster on my way to Lysefjorden and Nordvik. Here I easily located the tractor road taking me to the unmarked trailhead for Storakvitefjellet. In order to get to the trailhead a small stream had to be crossed, but this was straightforward given multiple strategically placed rocks. At the trailhead I left the bike behind and continued towards the summit on foot.

The trail was a bit wet early on, but was overall of good quality and easy to follow. It did however disappear (or perhaps split into multiple options?) when crossing a wet area below the summit, but by then the direction was pretty obvious, and the trail shortly reappeared. There was a small cairn and a trig marker about 65 m southwest of the summit, while the summit itself was unmarked. Excellent views across Lysefjorden from both the summit and the first part of the descent. Very much worth a visit! The trip was concluded by cycling home via Fanafjellet, during which the sun disappeared completely and it even starting raining! Other than that, a very nice trip that can be highly recommended!
