On a perfect Saturday for skiing, I took the train to Ljosandbotn and followed the marked route up Ljosanddalen to Borgarebuvotni, making a minor detour to visit Appelsintreet. From Borgarebuvotni I continued north before ascending Klevanuten from the northeast. After a short break at the summit I descended into Klevaskaret and ascended to the northern end of Rjoandeggi which I then proceeded to follow south to the highest point. Sunshine and no wind made for an excellent location for my late lunch break.

I continued south along the ridge to Søre Rjoandeggi. Overall straightforward, however there were lots of rocks and even larger areas without any snow that had to be properly navigated. After another extended break, all that remained was the very nice descent to the train station. Even though I had tried to take it slow, and include lots of breaks, I still had around 50 minutes to spare before the train back to Bergen. After stopping the GPS, I therefore made a second short trip up Ljosanddalen before returning to the station.

In summary, a near perfect day of skiing in Ljosanddalen and a roundtrip that can definitely be highly recommended!
