Stølafjellet and Ilefjellet from Våge

Date:
26.12.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:07h
Distance:
21.9km

Stølafjellet I started by taking the bus to Halhjem and the ferry to Våge. From Våge I followed the main road south to Reisa, taking a shortcut next to the school/football field to more quickly get to the main road in Uggdalsdalen, and then the shortest route up to the trailhead for Stølafjellet . The latter pretty much led me through someone's backyard. It is better to take the only slightly longer route to the west in order to avoid feeling like a trespasser. The trailhead was unmarked, but the tractor road, and later trail, was marked with red paint. I followed the tractor road until it came to an end at a viewpoint with a bench, and from there followed the marked trail all the way to the cairn . The red markings pretty much disappeared towards the end, but by then the large cairn could be spotted anyway. After >>>

Hellen festning and Furukammen

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:23h
Distance:
5.4km

After knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) recently moved the PB-element at Hellefjellet , I of course had to make a new visit dedicated to confirm if this was correct. And after inspecting the new summit from all sides, I concluded that Knut Sverre was right. The structure/tower I had assumed was mostly man-made, actually consisted of natural rock all the way to the top, at last on the north-northwestern side, and is thus the correct highest point at Hellefjellet . In order to keep the much more frequently visited previous PB-element, which also has significantly better views, I added a new viewpoint called Hellen festning at the old location.

Tysnessåta from Våge

Date:
22.12.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:55h
Distance:
17.4km

After first taking the bus to Halhjem and the ferry to Våge, I continued on foot along the road to Valla (or Vadla as the locals call it). Upon arriving at Valla, I was surprised to come across two sets of trailhead markers, as I had not been able to find any indications of this when researching this potential route to Tysnessåta . I decided to go for the newest trailhead (which most likely connects with the old trail later on anyway) and started up a marked tractor road which I soon left for a trail marked with red T's. The start of the trail was relatively steep, but at around 300 meters it flattened out quite a lot, and from there on the ascent was pretty easy. Here I also got the first glimpses of Tysnessåta through the trees. As expected, the trail could be followed all the way to the summit, even >>>
