Ski Touring to Mount Snortungen [1193]

Date:
23.01.2021
Characteristic:
Randonnée/Telemark
Duration:
5:25h
Distance:
10.3km

I have lately been ascending a number of mountains in the Rauma Municipality in the county of Møre & Romsdal in the western part of Norway. This municipality has a lot of nice mountains, and my intention has been to climb at least all those with an altitude of more than 1000 m.a.m.s.l. one by one. And so, on this day, I drove to the fjord called Isfjorden [i.e. “The Ice Fjord”] in Rauma, intending to climb Mount Snortungen, which has an altitude of 1198 m.a.m.s.l. I parked at a parking lot at a location called Breivik . In Norwegian, the word brei means broad, and the word vik means bay; so the meaning of the name “Breivik” is simply “The Broad Bay”. (Now, there are many broad bays along the 2000 km coast line of Norway, and this particular one has no connection to the Norwegian >>>

Attempt at Ski Touring to Mount Hesten in Rauma Municipality

Date:
16.01.2021
Characteristic:
Randonnée/Telemark
Duration:
4:17h
Distance:
7.4km

On this day, my son asked me if I'd like to join him on an alpine skiing tour to Mount Hesten. He had resently read a brief tour report on Facebook by someone who had recently visited the mountain on skis, and so he had figured he'd give the mountain a try as well. Mount Hesten is a mountain located in Rauma Municipality in the County of Møre & Romsdal. The mountain has several peaks located in a horseshoe-fashion. Here on Peakbook they have been named Hesten Northwest [1481 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten [1610 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten S1 [1580 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten S2 [1590 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten S3 [1634 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten S4 [1560 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten S5 [1650 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten Southwest [1570 m.a.m.s.l.], and Litlehesten [1575 m.a.m.s.l.]. The meaning of the Norwegian word Hesten is The Horse, and the >>>

To Mount Sulafjellet in Bad Weather

Date:
09.01.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:46h
Distance:
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.; >>>

Two Trips to Mount Storehornet on Godøy Island

Date:
02.01.2021
Duration:
2:14h
Distance:
6.9km

Mount Storehornet on Godøy Island is a mountain that I have frequently climbed. I usually don't publish my climbs of that mountain here on Peakbook, as I've climbed it so many times. I have, however, been having an idea of photographing the Norwegian costal town of Ålesund at the entrance to the Georgian New Year, as the people of this town usually have a spectacular firework at this time of the year. And so, in late evening of December 31st, I climbed the mountain again, this time carrying a backpack with a camera and some lenses, along with a tripod; planning to capture some long exposure photos up there. I sat out from the parking lot just outside the tunnel opening at the peninsula of Alnes shortly before 11 o'clock in the evening. Usually, an hour is plenty of time to climb the mountain, >>>
