For the second Sunday in a row I was back at Voss on a skiing trip organized by Voss Utferdslag (part of the Norwegian Trekking Association). In other words, yet another early morning with the train from Bergen at 07:07. At Voss I met up with the others around 09:00 and we car-pooled to Bergesvatnet. Here we parked at Moseheia p-plass before starting our ascent up Bergsskaret just after 10:00.

The visibility would sadly be quite limited throughout most of the trip with a sun that was visible behind the clouds but refused to properly show itself, but overall the visibility was more than good enough to see where we were heading. To more than make up for this though, the ground was covered with at least 20 centimeters of fresh snow.

After later turning east across Flatafjellet, the terrain levelled off and we soon stopped for a quick lunch break before completing the final ascent to Blåsåta. Here we had the best visibility of the trip, with the sun briefly getting bright enough to create shadows. The small cairn at Blåsåta was quickly visited before continuing south to Kjerringfjellet. This section required a bit of up and down, but it did not take long before we could start the final steep climb to the summit cairn. Limited views from the summit today, but at least we could see down into Bergsdalen before taking a group picture and starting our descent.

We returned north almost to Blåsåta before turning west and following the different Gråvåtni lakes down to Bergsskaret via Bjørkebotnen. At the top of Bjørkebotnen we could finally take full advantage of the excellent skiing condition, although still somewhat limited by the low visibility, and we all soon arrived back at the parking lot at Moseheia.

In summary, a very nice trip where the only complaint was the overall poor visibility.
