Bordalsgjelet from Voss train station
When spending two days at a conference at Voss, I took advantage of an extended break before the evening's dinner for a visit of Bordalsgjelet. The route to Bordalsgjelet is marked with signs all the way from Tintrabrui, however I somehow missed the first sign and ended up with an alternative route via Gjernesvegen. More or less the same distance, but more traffic and no sidewalk until the road turns north, hence I would recommend using my return route in both directions.
Before crossing the bridge across Bordalselvi, I followed a sign to a viewpoint northwest of the bridge that provided a nice view across what I guess one can call the end of Bordalsgjelet. I then continued to the parking lot and from there followed the trail into Bordalsgjelet. Note that while this trail has safety railing, it is still closed during the winter, and in fact there were still some patches of ice on the trail. The end of the trail could however be reached without any issues and provided spectacular views into the narrow gorge.
In summary, an excellent short hike that can be very highly recommended!
