Kollevågen and Vardneshaugane

Date:
08.06.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:03h
Distance:
3.9km

Short detour to Vardneshaugane while attending a rather wet barbeque at Kollevågen, although thankfully under a large protective roof. Managed to convince two of my colleagues to join the hike, although they turned back before the highest point due to the rather wet and muddy trail.

Kyrelvfjellet

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:59h
Distance:
4.6km

After our successful ascent of Nipahøgdi , we drove the short distance south towards Langavatnet for an attempt at ascending Kyrelvfjellet . Thankfully, this part of the road had been cleared of snow and we could therefore easily drive all the way to our planned starting point east of the summit. Here Endre decided to have a go at the last skiing trip of the season, while Petter and I concluded that it would be just as easy to continue on foot for this peak as well. Initially, we followed a route marked with small cairns leading us to the small 1168 lake east of the summit. The cairns can most likely be followed all the way to the summit, at least they reappeared higher up, but for now they were hidden underneath the snow. After a short steep ascent that may be more tricky under different conditions, we could easily complete the final distance to the >>>

Hillwalk
Duration:

Distance:
12.0km

Petter picked me up at my place shortly after six, having already picked up Endre , and together we made the long drive to Austdalen. Our goal was to drive as high up as possible and then see how many of the peaks that each of us had left we could manage to ascend. At around 970 meters above sea level, just before the last bend in the road below Austdalsnutvatnet, we came across the first patch of snow blocking our way. We left the car behind and continued on foot along the road. We had brought skis but decided to leave them in the car. There were still extended stretches of road without any snow but it quickly became clear that we could not have driven much further anyway, as the road was soon largely hidden underneath the snow. Upon arriving at Floksefonnvatnet, we left the road and headed off-trail towards >>>

Godvikaskjenet and Storhaugen

Date:
25.05.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
0:56h
Distance:
4.0km

Two small hills on the Alle topper i Bergen list that I had put off visiting due to both basically being inside someone's backyard. Godvikaskjenet however turned out to be a positive surprise as the dense undergrowth I had expected to power through had been replaced by a gravel road! Hence there was only a very short off-trail section required before connecting with the weak trail along the ridge. This summit was therefore reached without any real issues. Storhaugen was another matter. While it is perhaps technically possible to reach the summit without trespassing, it definitely did not feel that way, and I ended up stopping around 40 meters from the highest point. But I will still put it in the "been there, done that, definitely not coming back" category. It might be possible to ascend from the north instead but not without it >>>
