Litlåsfjellet from Leirvåg fergekai

Date:
11.04.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
5.1km

Short bonus hike after my trip to Brattelifjellet, Storeholten and Mosedotten in Gulen and the ferry ride from Sløvågen given that I had around an hour to kill at Leirvågen before the bus back to Bergen. The goal was to visit the highest point in Austrheim, namely Litlåsfjellet . This was easily achieved as there was a gravel road pretty much all the way to the summit. There were even tire marks across the highest point as a result of recent logging activity.

Brattelifjellet, Storeholten and Mosedotten

Date:
11.04.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:35h
Distance:
15.3km

I started by taking the bus and ferry from Bergen to Sløvågen. Here I was picked up by a minibus heading for Mjømna. Note that you must call the company the day before for this bus to show up (see skyss.no ). Given that I was the only passenger, the bus driver made a short detour into Merkesdalen, saving me around 800 meters of walking along the paved road. After thanking the driver, I continued on foot towards the marked trailhead for Brattelifjellet at Svardalen. Thanks to Lise Grønbukt 's trip report I easily located the marked trail to Brattelifjellet and followed it without too much trouble all the way to the large summit cairn. But while the trail was marked with both blue markers and the occasional cairn, the trail itself was often quite weak. I lost it a couple of times and it could benefit from at least a couple of additional markers >>>

Helleberget from Rindabotn

Date:

Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
2:18h
Distance:
9.2km

Solo skiing trip from Rindabotn to Helleberget . A lot more snow than last year but quite hard and icy. Combined with the sun disappearing just as I was about to start my descent, resulting in very flat light, the trip back to the parking lot was not the most enjoyable.

Barsnesfjorden

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:51h
Distance:
4.4km

Short walk along Barsnesfjorden after a morning visit from a plumber to replace a pipe at the cabin that had burst during the cold winter. (Note that the road this hike follows is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.)
