Larsfonnberget from Oppheim
Started by taking the train to Voss and continued by bus to Oppheim. I then followed Oppheimsdalsvegen all the way to Kvanndalen. Walking along the gravel road was a bit boring at the start but soon the views opened up and it was actually quite enjoyable. I had expected there to be snow for the final off-trail ascent to Larsfonnberget but there were only a couple of patches that could not be avoided. The summit itself was completely free of snow and provided excellent views.
After a short stop, I returned to the gravel road via a slightly different route including detours to Geitaberget and Høgafjellet before passing by Turtene. The map indicated trails however I did not see much of these and largely found my own way. From Turtene I followed the gravel road back to Oppheim, where I had a look at the discontinued ski lift before getting on the bus to Voss and finally the train home to Bergen.
To conclude, a great hike with excellent views that can be recommended.
