Manen from Pallane

Fjelltur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
7,4km

When my plans to spend the first of May skiing at Finse had to be postponed due to bad weather, I instead left work early the day before for a trip to Kvinnherad with Petter . We drove south from Bergen and made the 16:10-ferry from Gjermundshamn with plenty of time to spare. After crossing the fjord we drove the short distance south to the start of Uskedalen where we parked next to the marked trailhead at Pallane in Eikevegen and were ready to start our hike to Manen shortly after five. We began by following a tractor road up to the start of the marked trail. The trail was however at first rather weak and we quickly lost it. But after a couple of minutes we found it again and from there on it was straightforward to follow it all the way to the summit. Note however that the trail seems to end at a large cairn that is not at the highest point. The summit >>>

Kjell picked me up at 06:50 for the short drive to meet up with Petter and from his place we all continued in Petter's car to Gjermundshamn for the 09:00-ferry to Årsnes. After crossing the fjord, we drove south via Rosendal to Matre and Matersdalen where we found parking next to the road and were finally ready to start hiking shortly after 10:00. From the car we briefly descended back down the paved road before ascending south along a tractor road up to Vadtjørnane. Here we aimed for Hillesdalsfjell and pretty much followed a straight line towards the summit. We did spot one or two red trail markers on the way, but these were quite faint and of the trail itself we did not really see much evidence. Hence the route has to be described as off-trail but still straightforward and without any real challenges. After a couple >>>

Turlengde:

Distanse:
18,9km

Two days after my skiing trip from Hallingskeid to Nyrjuven I was back on the train from Bergen but this time taking the train one stop further and getting off at Finse . After safely crossing the train tracks I put on the skis and started on the marked winter route to Klemsbu . Around 1 km before the cabin I however left the marked route and headed more directly northeast towards Flakavassnutane . South of the summit I shortly reconnected with the marked route before finding my own way to the top, arriving at the large cairn without any difficulties. Excellent views from the summit, even though the sunshine promised by the weather forecast never materialized. A cold wind resulted in a short stay and after a couple of pictures I descended along the same route before following the marked route west to Klemsbu. I had initially considered to also include Vargabreen on today's trip >>>

Distanse:

After spending the first half of Easter in Sogndal, I was now back in Bergen and after a night at home I got up early to take the train to Hallingskeid with the plan to ski to Nyrjuven/Osaskavlen . The sun was shining when the train arrived at Hallingskeid and I could put on the skis immediately after exiting the station from where I headed towards the bridge across Moldo . Given the issues I had had with the missing summer bridge during my recent attempt to cross the river south of Mjølfjell (which I later learnt opened just three days later…), I had in advance made sure that the bridge would in fact be there this time around , and could this easily cross to the other side. Safely across the river, I continued west along Buadalen where I pretty much followed the marked summer route to Osa/Rembesdalsseter until getting to the unnamed 1272 lake southwest of Daurmålsvatnet. From there it was simply a matter of navigating more or less directly west towards >>>
