The third peak on our seven mountain hike in Masfjorden was Brunane. After the visit of Bufjellet, Endre and I therefore drove the short distance to Frøyset where we found parking close to the church. Here we talked to one of the locals and was given excellent advice on how to locate the trailhead which was only a couple of hundred meters to the northeast. The trailhead was easily located and we began the initial steep ascent to Fløya.

Fløya provided a great overview of Frøyset and the panoramic views were much better than expected from such a modest altitude. After a nice chat with another local outside a small wooden shelter, and signing the visitor register, we continued along the trail to Brunane. The terrain was now much less steep and the summit was reached without any issues. Limited views due to lots of trees and we did not stay long before returning the same way. After a short lunch break in the car, we drove north to Hesthovden.

In summary, a nice short hike that can be recommended.
