Vetlafjellet via Stalheim

Date:
13.09.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
25.8km

After taking the train to Voss I continued by bus to Stalheim. Usually, the bus stops outside Stalheim Hotel but due to an event filling up the large parking lot outside the hotel, which the buses need to be able to return to the main road, I had to get off at the start of Stalheimsvegen instead. This did not make much of a difference though and I quickly covered the extra distance along the paved road before starting on the gravel road up Brekkedalen. (Note that if coming by car there is a 100 kr toll that can be paid by Vipps.) The long walk up to Tverraldskaret was less boring than expected, largely thanks to the excellent views along the way, and while I did not meet any other hikers there were lots of sheep and cows around, in addition to farmers in the process of gathering their sheep before the winter. >>>

Austdalsnuten

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:

Distance:
17.5km

Sunday hike to Austdalsnuten organized by Voss Utferdslag . After catching a very early train from Bergen, I caught up with the other hikers at Voss shortly before 08:00 for the roughly 1.5-hour bus ride to Austdalsvatnet. When getting off the bus we were at over 1000 meters above sea level and only 1.3 km from the summit, but given the terrain, including Austdalsvatnet blocking our way, we had to do a rather long detour before starting the real ascent from the south. On our way to the smaller lakes south of Austdalsnuten we partly followed a route used by the local farmers when transporting their sheep to their summer grazing areas. There were even small cairns showing the way but these were not always easy to spot and we thus made good use of our local guide. The clue seemed to be to be patient and ascend high enough >>>

Gjetingsdalen to Årvik via Grønhaug and Storahorga

Date:
30.08.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:32h
Distance:
16.2km

Warning: The trail this hike seemingly follows down to Årvik does not exist! Instead there is a steep off-trail descent. Read the report carefully. Petter picked up me and Kjell in Ytre Sandviken shortly after seven on a Saturday morning for a joint drive to Tørvikbygd and the ferry to Jondal. From Jondal we drove the short distance south to Gjetingsdalen, paid the 60 kr toll fee and continued up to the small parking lot at the end of the gravel road. We started by following a trail to Norddalen and from there continued on a much weaker trail, although marked by orange paint, up towards Isdalsvatnet. The trail markers were overall easy to follow however the trail itself was very weak at best. Shortly after passing the small lake south of Isdalsvatnet we in any case had to abandon the markers as they turned southeast and presumably >>>
