Hamrefjellet, Vardane and Torneberget
The trip started by talking the bus to Vallaheiene where I quickly located the signs for Smøråsfjellet. Not too difficult to locate the right trail, but the trail itself was a bad combination of ice and mud. The top of Hamrefjellet provided only limited views, so I decided to continue to a viewpoint called the "Orange Bench" ("Appelsinbenken" in Norwegian), which turned out to be a significant upgrade with nice views across Fanafjorden.
I returned to the main trail around Bjørnevatnet and then took a detour to pass by the two smaller summits of Vardane and Torneberget. The former had nice views, while the latter views left a lot to be desired. The hike was then completed by walking down to Litle Tveiten and from there back to Nesttun Terminal for the tram back to the city center.
