Skiing: Steinskvanndalen
With all meetings suddenly cancelled due to the Coronavirus, I decided to instead make use of the perfect weather for a skiing trip in Steinskvanndalen, an area I had previously only visited in the summer. We parked at Løkjentunet, paid the 100 kr fee via Vipps, and from there walked a short stretch along the main road to Kvernavollen. After some initial struggles, we finally connected with the marked ski trail to Steinskvanndalen and could enjoy freshly laid ski tracks.
We continued north to Øvre Kvanndalsvatnet (the last stretch without any tracks), before turning back and reconnecting with the marked ski trail, which we then followed for a roundtrip, finally taking us back to the main road. Again, we struggled to find the best route towards the main road, first making a detour in the wrong direction (which perhaps would have worked out if we had been more patient). The easiest option was to simply follow the road south to Kvernavollen, given that there was a separate skiing trail next to the road.
In summary, an excellent trip in an area that can be highly recommended for skiing!
