Skiing: Vargabreen from Finse
Three weeks after my ascents of Flakavassnutane and Såtehjallane I was back at Finse for what would most likely be the last skiing trip of the season. After safely crossing to the other side of the train tracks, I started on the marked winter route towards Geiterygghytta before later turning west in Såtedalen and briefly following the marked winter route to Hallingskeid. The final off-trail ascent to the highest point at Vargabreen was straightforward and it was easy to find a route that avoided all of the steeper areas.
After a lunch break at the summit I made the short detour north to the only slightly lower northern summit before turning back and descending along the same route. A descent that turned out a bit more complicated than expected given that I at the top had discovered that the soles of my ski boots, which were only two years old, were in the process of detaching from the rest of the boots. I managed to secure the worst one with an extra shoelace from my backpack and thankfully got to back to Såtedalen without any issues.
All that remained was then to follow the same marked winter route back to Finse, where I arrived with almost 1.5 hours to spare. I considered including a quick visit of Vetle Hansbunuten but decided to rather have a long break at the aptly named Togallmenningen before taking the train back to Bergen.
In summary, ascending Vargabreen on skis from Finse is straightforward and one can even stay on marked winter routes for the vast majority of the trip. The summit also provides excellent views and is well worth a visit.
