Distance:

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 >>>

Distance:
2.4km

Short stop in Lærdal to visit Mjølkeflathytta when driving from Bergen to Sogndal for Easter. I got dropped off at the marked trailhead at Stødno and proceeded to follow the marked trail southwest to the cabin. The trail was easy to follow but might be more tricky under wet and in particular icy conditions. From the cabin I continued west along the trail until arriving at the bridge across Lærdalselvi. The sidewalk along the bridge then easily took me across the river where I was picked up for the remainder of the drive to Sogndal. Overall, a nice short hike with good views.

Sjuråsen from Stussvikhovda snuplass

Date:
24.03.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:55h
Distance:
8.3km

When another two-day meeting at Solstrand came to an end, I did what has now almost become a tradition, i.e. I made a long solo detour to a new peak before finally heading back to Bergen later in the evening. This time I had settled on Sjuråsen as my target, even though it has a vertical separation of only 99.4. The required motivation to still visit this peak came from Peakbagger where, due to only storing integer values, the prominence value is set to 100 . By taking the bus (and ferry) south from Solstrand, I got as far as Stussvikhovda snuplass from where I had to walk the remaining 4.3 km to the start of a tractor road southwest of the summit. Note that unless you count the grass-covered area on the outside of the guard rails, which I partially made use of, there were no sidewalks, however the traffic was thankfully limited. Just before getting to the tractor road, >>>
