Lyderhorn Roundtrip

Date:
10.02.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:47h
Distance:
9.4km

Started by taking the bus to Lyngbø (bus stop called Lyngbø Rv. 555) and following the roads to Kvarven fort . Shortly after starting the ascent the roads turned very icy and I spent more time walking next to the road than on the road itself. When the road changed to trail the conditions shortly improved, but the ice would soon return. I reached the summit of Lyderhorn without any real difficulties though. For my descent I decided on the trial down to Banuren. Rather icy at the beginning and later more stream than trail. Upon reaching Banuren, the hike was completed by walking along the roads back to Lyngbø for the bus home. A nice roundtrip, but probably much nicer when there is less ice.

Across Vidden from Fløyen to Grøvlevatnet

Date:
02.02.2019
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
22.2km

Started from the upper station of Fløibanen and from there followed the usual skiing route to Rundemanen . Although there had been some new snow since my last visit, there actually seemed to be even less snow at Rundemanen, and the skis had to come off to reach the summit. I did manage to ski down Hyttelien and up to Øvre Jordalsvatnet, but also here there seemed to be even less snow than one week earlier. From Øvre Jordalsvatnet I followed the skiing route up the valley to east of the main trail across Vidden. A bit more snow here, but a lot more was needed here as well. Upon reaching the plateau, the conditions were overall ok, but also here mixed with shorter sections with either very little snow or with more ice than snow. (The latter was in particular the case for the area around Hauggjelsvarden .) After first >>>

Fløyen via Vikinghytten to Lønborg

Date:
27.01.2019
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
7:02h
Distance:
22.9km

Started from the upper station of Fløibanen and from there followed the usual skiing route to Rundemanen . Less snow than I had hoped for the last stretch to Rundemanen (and no snow at all at the summit itself). Getting down Hyttelien also required going more back and forth than usual in order to avoid areas with rocks and/or grass peaking up through the snow. The conditions improved slightly toward Jordalsskaret, but as I turned southeast the snow was more or less completely replaced by ice or grass. Upon reaching the plateau northwest of Øvre Jordalsvatnet the conditions again improved, but on my way up to Dyrhovda , and later to Vikinghytten , there were still plenty of areas that could do with a lot more snow. After a short visit to Arnahytten , I passed by Vikinghytten before making my own shortcut down to Tranehytten and Gangerolf , and with this >>>
