Høgalii

Date:
24.07.2026
Characteristic:
Jogging
Duration:
0:27h
Distance:
2.2km

A short stop on the way home from Sogndal to Bergen in order to ascend Høgalii . I was dropped off outside Målsethytta and continued west/northwest along the gravel road, crossed the dam, and followed a weak but marked trail all the way to the highest point where there was a small cairn and even a visitor register. I returned the same way and after a minor detour to avoid some cows blocking the road and refusing to move, I was picked up just east of the dam. All in all, a nice short trip, perfect for those wanting a break when driving across Vikafjellet.

Nord for Torstadnakken from Anestølen

Date:
21.07.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:54h
Distance:
11.7km

To get to the parking lot at Anestølen one has to pay a 70 kr toll fee . This however removes the need for an extra 3 km walk each way along a gravel road and thus gets you to the real hike faster. From the parking lot I followed a largely unmarked trail, with some occasional small cairns, up Tverrdalen to Tverrdalsvotni. The trail was overall easy to see but also had its weaker sections. At the lake I had planned to cross the river via a bridge , but as the bridge was laying next to the river and not across it, I instead had to find another way to the other side. This was however straightforward and after shortly following an animal track, I made my own way up towards Nord for Torstadnakken . Except for a short steepish section south of the unnamed small lake west of the summit, where a bit of route-finding including some easy scrambling was required, the ascent did >>>

After successfully ascending Slettafjell , I was transported across the fjord and dropped off at Øydvenstod. I then walked via Solhaug to the bus stop at Hjeltnes, from where I began my return journey back to Bergen. Igjen, tusen takk til Katrine med familie for hjelp med båttransport! :)
