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:

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 >>>

Åsen

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:09h
Distance:
2.2km

With Ingahogg and Tindafjellet in the bag, we drove the short distance from the parking lot at Fjellhaugen Skisenter to the top of the pass between Indre Matre and Opstveit. Here there was room for a couple of cars without hindering the traffic or blocking access to the recycling station. In light rain that would thankfully soon stop, we then followed various deer tracks up to the ridge leading to Åsen . Getting to the ridge involved a short steep section that we managed to avoid when later descending but was otherwise straightforward. It was then just a matter of following various deer tracks on our way to the summit. Despite being the lowest summit of the day, it actually provided the best views, mainly as we were now under the layer of dense fog, however the views were marred by the overhanging powerlines. We returned more or less the same way and then >>>
