Djeveltanna
- Date:
- 28.05.2013
- Characteristic:
- Hike
- Duration:
- 5:00h
Djeveltanna er en av de fjellene som har stått lenge på min fjellønskeliste siden jeg flyttet til Tromsø. Det er ikke vanskelig å forklare hvorfor det. Det er et fjell som man ikke kan kjøre forbi uten å la merke til noe imponerende ved siden av veien. Fjellet ligger på nordsiden av Kattfjordeidet mellom Middagstinden og Skitntinden og har en pyramide-type profil når man kikker opp. De to vanlige rutene som brukes er å gå opp i renna fra øst- eller vestsiden av fjellet. Jeg har alltid visst at dette ikke er et fjell som jeg vil prøve på ski om vinteren for det er litt ekstremt skikjøring etter min smak. Om sommeren er det løs stein som ikke er fristende. Derfor er min sesong for å bestige fjellet begrenset til perioden mellom skisesongen og sommeren når det er fortsatt godt >>>
Skitntinden
- Date:
- 03.03.2013
- Characteristic:
- Hike
- Duration:
- 4:30h
- Distance:
- 9.0km
Skitntinden er antakeligvis en av de mest populære skifjell i nærområdet av Tromsø, eller dette er inntrykk jeg har fått så langt. Da kan du si at det er ikke så vanlig å se turfolk tar med stegjern og isøks istedenfor ski på vinterstid. Kanskje det er noe av en forbrytelse når man besøker et kjent skifjell uten å stå på ski....
Derimot, etter vår tur til Ullstinden dagen før, hadde jeg lite lyst til å kjøre skiene mine på isete snø og selv om vi visste at snøforholdene kan være helt annerledes på andre fjell, bestemte vi oss for å få en ulik type tur i dag. Med tanker på at vi ville få enda mer is på sørsider av fjellene (pga hovedvindretningen de siste par dagene), trodde vi at Skitntinden kunne bli et godt turmål for en fottur. I tillegg hadde Skitntinden vært >>>
Juledagstur til Durmålstinden
- Date:
- 25.12.2012
- Characteristic:
- Hike
- Duration:
- 4:30h
- Distance:
- 9.0km
Oh, bummer. Already 6.30am on Christmas Day. I so wanted to sleep for longer but deep down knew I was going to have to drag myself out of bed if I wanted to have any chance of collecting my friends for a trip to Durmålstinden at 9.00. I didn't honestly feel in the mood for hiking at that point, but trips always seem to start off this way at this time of year. Fortunately I didn't have the guts to send my friend an sms with an excuse for not going out and at 8.45 I left home and drove to the Coop on Stakkevollan to meet with Aline and her boyfriend Christian. We drove to Kattfjord and were at the parkeringsplass within about 1/2 hour.
The only disappointment was that as we approached the mountain, it was becoming increasingly cloudy and it looked like the chances of a nice mountain view were >>>
Scafell Pike
- Date:
- 12.12.2012
- Characteristic:
- Hike
- Distance:
- 12.0km
There isn't anything quite as pleasing as a good hike in familiar surroundings, with superb weather and solid snow. Quite surprisingly this trip satisfied all three criteria (not something which often happens in this corner of England) and made it a very enjoyable day out in the UK hills again. After a quiet night spent in the Borrowdale youth hostel, my friend Sue and I headed for Scafell Pike with the intention of going up the Corridor route which goes around the north-western side of the mountain. In the summer time Scafell Pike usually has a reputation for attracting big crowds and it doesn't end up being the nicest experience. But today we were really fortunate and saw very few other hikers, maybe half a dozen close to the summit but none on our route up!
The approach toward Styhead Tarn >>>
Breitinden (Kattfjord)
- Date:
- 01.12.2012
- Characteristic:
- Hike
- Duration:
- 4:30h
På denne turen fikk jeg med ei venninne jeg kjente fra norskkurs. Det var meldt fint vær igjen i helga og så skulle det bli tur. Men nå var det egentlig mørketida og det var ikke så mange timer med daglys. Så vi bestemte oss for å dra ut på en kortere tur i dag og Breitinden ble turmålet. Fjellet ligger på nordvestkanten Kvaløya. Da skulle vi få nydelig lys med god utsikt mot ’soloppgangen’ og ’solnedgangen’. Kjøretiden var like under enn 1 time fra Tromsø og da vi kom frem til Vasstrand som var utgangspunktet for turen, fikk vi en kraftig bris i tillegg til omtrent 8 minusgrader. Det var ikke verst, men det føltes forholdsvis kjølig da vi kom oss ut av den varme bilen i begynnelsen av turen!
Ruten oppover fjellet var veldig lett å finne siden det var bra sikt, og jeg >>>
Buren
- Date:
- 11.11.2012
- Characteristic:
- Hike
- Duration:
- 4:30h
Jeg og Siv tenkte å ta en 'kort' tur til Buren på Kvaløya da hun måtte være tilbake i Tromsø før kl.14. Men det viste seg å ta lenger tid enn først antatt. Vi trodde at vi ikke kom til å gå i mye snø, og vi bestemte oss for å gå til fots istedenfor på ski. Vi kjørte til Kaldfjord og videre i retning Tromvik, til vi kom frem til parkeringsplassen ved siden av veien på Susannajorda. Klokka var omtrent 10 før vi startet turen.
Heldig med været var vi også. Det kjentes ganske mildt ut og jeg tror temperaturen faktisk var +2 grader! Med strålende sol og en utrolig flott blå himmel var det i utgangspunkt en perfekt start på turen. Men, ikke fortere enn vi hadde startet å følge skisporene opp fjellsiden, fant vi ut at det var mye mer snø enn vi hadde forventet. Til å begynne >>>
Gjømmertinden
- Date:

- Characteristic:
- Hike
- Duration:
- 7:00h
- Distance:
- 14.5km
Once again I found myself on a solo trip again because friends were either busy with other things or had problems with ankles/knees etc. Which seemed like a huge shame because the weather was so beautiful on this Sunday morning. Anyway, I had several ideas in mind about which mountain to visit next, but after some reading on toppturmania and kugo.no, I finally settled on a trip to Gjømmertinden. From what I could make out from the trip descriptions on both websites, there was a well-marked path for most of the way up, and that appealed above all! And there was the advantage too that it was easy to get to, being on a 45-minute drive along the very quick E6 through Lavangsdalen. With my decision made, I took a leisurely start from Tromsø and didn't actually leave until 10:00, but I thought >>>
Bentsjordtinden
- Date:

- Characteristic:
- Hike
- Duration:
- 5:30h
Wonderful day out on a mountain number 2 for this week: Bentsjordtinden. Probably also one of the mountains I have most wanted to visit since moving to Tromsø and one which I photograph numerous times, because of its very elegant silhouette against the Tromsø skyline. With me for this trip was my fjellsportgruppa friend Ilona. It had been a while since we have both found a good day to get out on a trip together, but fortunately today it happened. After collecting Ilona from town at kl.10, we drove out to Malangen via the Ryaforbindelsen under slightly cloudy sky but with no sign of rain, and it was a quick travel time to park up just after reaching Bentsjorda. It was a little tricky to figure out where the path(s) started from to go up the mountain, but luckily I had 'insider information' >>>
Lille Piggtinden
- Date:
- 27.09.2012
- Characteristic:
- Hike
A very excellent day out. And my very first trip up a 'Lyngen Alp'. I have really only had one primary mountain 'goal' since moving to Tromso, and that is to climb at least one mountain in Lyngen, and this was the trip that fulfilled it, even though Lille Piggtinden is not really in the heart of the Lyngen peninsula. Anyway, I met up with two guys at ICA Langnes at kl.10 - Asbjorn, who I had met on previous trip and Reidar, who was a friend of Asbjorn's. Reidar drove us down towards the parking place in Lakselvdalen where we would begin the hike up. It was quite an impressive view of Lille Piggtinden from the entrance to the valley, and one which I wish I had got a photo of before before we started! I think it was more or less by the shores of Sørfjorden at it's western end where we parked >>>
Store Blåmann

- Duration:
- 5:00h
Another opportunity for hiking with my friend Terese ( TerFlo (Terese Flo) ) came up when she had two days off work. Simultaneously the weather for both these days was forecasted to be fine and dry, so we met up on the Thursday with a plan to ascend Store Blåmann, yet another of (in my opinion) Tromsø's 'classic' hikes. It is actually quite a short trip, with less than 3km from the parkeringplass to the top of the mountain, so there was no hurry to start early and we left Tromsø at around kl.10 in rather tett tåke. Fortunately, by the time we had reached Kaldfjord the fog had been left behind us and we could see the Blåmann across the fjord under blue skies. It seemed like my dream to go back up the mountain with sunshine and good visibility might about to become true. So both of us were excited and feeling >>>
