Skiing: Nordbotnnuten from Mjølfjell

Date:
05.04.2025
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
9:31h
Distance:
25.5km

I got up early Saturday morning to catch the first train from Bergen to Mjølfjell where I arrived at 09:00. My plan had been to walk south from the station and cross the river via the bridge to Urlandsstølen to start my ascent to Nordbotnnuten . When getting there I however quickly realized that this would not be possible. The bridge had been taken down for the winter ! I therefore had to come up with an alternative plan to get to the other side. I found two options: the bridge to Hagen (around 1.5 km walk to the southwest) or the bridge at Hellene (around 2 km walk to the east). While the former was a shorter walk and definitely included a permanent bridge, I still decided on Hellene as the terrain from there to Rundavatnet (to connect with my planned ascent route to Nordbotnnuten) looked easier. Upon arriving at Hellene I was therefore very happy to find that this bridge was >>>

Tjellflotåsen from Skånevik

Date:
30.03.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:26h
Distance:
5.6km

Initially, I had planned to go skiing this Sunday, but after spending all of the Saturday hiking with Petter in Kvinnherad , I decided to rather take it easy and instead went for a boat trip to Skånevik for a short hike to Tjellflotåsen . Roughly three hours after embarking on the high-speed passenger ferry in Bergen, and after a quick transfer to similar boat in Leirvik, I arrived in sunny Skånevik ready to start my hike. I started by walking northeast along Skånevikvegen before later leaving the main road and turning southwest on the smaller road to Ytre Nes. After about 300 meters on this road I arrived at the marked trailhead for Tjellflotåsen. From there, the trail was marked all the way to the summit, however there should have been one additional marker early on when the tractor road split. Here the trail continues straight ahead >>>

Bergshovda

Date:
29.03.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:09h
Distance:
2.5km

After completing the ascent of Åsen , we drove the short distance northeast to the crossroads of Matersvegen, Myklebustvegen and Blådalsvegen for our final ascent of the day, namely Bergshovda . We left the car next to the road and from there tried to follow Pål’s trip report . However, as it did not contain a GPS-track we had to rely on our best attempts at interpreting his written description. This started out well enough and after first heading northwest without a trail we came across the trail mentioned by Pål and then proceeded to try to follow it. Calling it a trail seemed like an exaggeration though as it looked more like a deer track, but perhaps one of the more frequently used ones. We do not know whether we actually followed the exact same route from there on though, but at least our trail/deer track made sure that we got to the >>>
