Bjørnehaugen from Gjermundshamn

Date:
26.03.2022
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:44h
Distance:
21.4km

A return to Gjermundshamn for a visit of Bjørnehaugen . Note that on the map the area is referred to as Bjørnehaugen, i.e. one extra 's', while the summit is named Bjørnahaugen, but for simplicity I will stick with name used on PB. As usual when visiting a remote minor summit with limited views, I made it into a longer trip to make it slightly more interesting. In this particular case this was only partly voluntary, as the only way for me to get anywhere close to Bjørnehaugen (without needing a car) was to first take the bus to Gjermundshamn and then start my hike from there. And while this initial walk along the road may seem boring, the limited traffic and the excellent views towards the snow-capped mountains across the fjord made for a rather enjoyable start to the trip.

Vardafjellet, Bjørnafjellet and Storanosi

Date:
20.03.2022
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
5:23h
Distance:
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 >>>
