Gulakvila, Kvitebergnova and Flogefjellet from Sollibotn

Date:
26.04.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
8:53h
Distance:
25.4km

After travelling 1.5 hours north on the express boat from Bergen, I got off a Sollibotn and continued on foot towards Gulakvila . I only had to walk less than 100 meters along the paved road before switching to a gravel path that took me up to the marked trailhead and a marked trail that could easily be followed via Løypingsåsen to the cabin. My next goal was Kvitebergnova . In advance I had considered two options: (i) descend to Eivindvik and ascend from Midttun (where I, thanks to Lise Grønbukt 's trip report , had learnt about a marked trail) or (ii) head northwest and ascend via Høgefjellet . When arriving at the unnamed 123 lake just northeast of Gulakvila, I however came across a sign for Kvitbergnova that pointed east. Hoping that this would save me an unnecessary detour, I decided to give it a go, even though this trail was not indicated on the >>>

Sjurstonipa from Breistein via Ytre Arna

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:05h
Distance:
9.8km

On a nice but windy Saturday I stayed away from the higher peaks and instead tried a new route from Breistein to Ytre Arna before heading via Sjurstonipa and Spåkefjellet on my way to Gaupås. Overall, a nice hike along good trails and great views. Can be recommended.

Ragdebu

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:21h
Distance:
4.3km

Upon completing my trip to Middagsnuten and Nonsnut , I still had plenty of time before the next bus to Bergen. I therefore took a local bus from Skarsmoen to Odda for a visit of Ragdebu . The first sign for Ragdebu was not spotted until the end of Ragdelia but from there on there was multiple signs and arrows along a nice trail to the cabin. I had the location all to myself and could enjoy the great views during a very late lunch break. To extended the hike, and further reduce the waiting time for the bus, I returned to the bus station via Freimsvegen. Slightly longer but resulted in a nice roundtrip.

Middagsnuten and Nonsnut

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:57h
Distance:
7.2km

After a long bus ride from Bergen to Odda, I got off at Smørtjørnsmoen from where I could follow a side road up through Middagsnuten Hyttefelt. I then continued on a snow-covered trail to a small building with a large antenna near the summit of Middagsnuten . Before heading to the real summit around 60 meters south of the antenna, I also made a quick visit of the trig marker to the northeast. Excellent views from all locations. Next, I turned my attention towards Nonsnut and immediately started wondering why this peaks looked much bigger than expected. It was only supposed to be around 30 meters higher and only 700 meters away from my current location but it looked both much higher and much further away. In any case, I first had to descend to the cabins in the valley between the two peaks. Except for initial >>>

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 >>>
