Bakkanosi and Fetanipa
Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association which started by taking the train to Voss and then a joint taxi to Jordalen. We followed the standard route to Bakkanosi, which started out a bit steep along a snow-covered tractor road before levelling off through Slettedalen and the final ascent towards the summit.
The summit itself was quickly passed as we moved closer to the edge for better views. Although getting close the 1300 meters vertical drop down to Nærøyfjorden had to wait for later a summer visit, as the snow made it impossible to see where the firm ground ended, the views were still quite spectacular, but slightly reduced due to a light haze in the distance.
After lunch, half of us made a detour to Fetanipa, where the views could not compare with Bakkanosi. Perhaps explaining why there have been so few registered visits on PB. However, if visiting in the summer one could perhaps get much better views from the 1385 hill to the south, or (if having more time) continuing southwest to Høgberget. We however had to turn back and reconnect with the other half of the group, which we did by the cabins in Slettedalen, where it was time for another break before the final descent.
Skiing along the tractor road turned out to be more difficult than imagined due to the heavy wet snow, but in the end we all made it safely down to Jordalen for the taxi back to Voss and the train back to Bergen. Overall, an excellent trip that can be highly recommended!
