Sjuråsen from Stussvikhovda snuplass

Date:
24.03.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:55h
Distance:
8.3km

When another two-day meeting at Solstrand came to an end, I did what has now almost become a tradition, i.e. I made a long solo detour to a new peak before finally heading back to Bergen later in the evening. This time I had settled on Sjuråsen as my target, even though it has a vertical separation of only 99.4. The required motivation to still visit this peak came from Peakbagger where, due to only storing integer values, the prominence value is set to 100 . By taking the bus (and ferry) south from Solstrand, I got as far as Stussvikhovda snuplass from where I had to walk the remaining 4.3 km to the start of a tractor road southwest of the summit. Note that unless you count the grass-covered area on the outside of the guard rails, which I partially made use of, there were no sidewalks, however the traffic was thankfully limited. Just before getting to the tractor road, >>>

Rundemanen via Brakhaugen

Date:
20.03.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:07h
Distance:
13.6km

Before heading home from work I decided to try a (for me) new trail to Rundemanen from Tarlebøveien via Brakhaugen. The trail seemed to mainly be used for downhill cycling, although I did not see cyclists, or anyone else for that matter, this evening. Overall, the route can be recommended and provided some relatively unusual views. Even the very familiar antenna at Rundemanen felt different when approached from the southeast.

Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
5:10h
Distance:
17.8km

After a long drive from Bergen, most of it in very dense fog, we could finally leave the poor visibility behind shortly after beginning the ascent from Eidfjord and when parking the car next to the road north of Store Bjoreinuten the sun was shining from an almost cloudless sky. After crossing Bjoreio we easily made our way to the highest point of Store Bjoreinuten, passing by the old northwestern summit marked by a small cairn on the way. Next, we headed more or less directly southwest towards Fagernuten , rounded the summit on the eastern side and made the final ascent from the south. After a short break next the cairn, we descended northeast into the valley between Fagernuten and Store Allgarden before turning north and passing by Drøllstøl on our way to Vetle Allgarden . The ascent to Vetle Allgarden was a mixed bag. It started with a minor struggle >>>
