Påskåsen

Bergtour

Entfernung:

The last day of a long weekend was spent visiting Påskåsen . I started by taking the boat from Strandkaiterminalen in Bergen to Leirvik. Here there was another boat waiting for the final leg to Fjelbergøy. I was the only passenger disembarking, roughly two hours after leaving Bergen. By following the road north I soon arrived at a tractor road that took me up to the unmarked trailhead. (PB indicates a parking lot at the end of this road, but there is only room for one car and I do not think the area is really meant for parking.) Thanks to previous trip reports I here left the tractor road and continued on an unmarked trail heading south/southwest. The trail later turned towards the summit and could be easily followed all the way to the highest point. Limited views from the top, except for an opening >>>

Afternoon cycling trip with the main objective of visiting the trig marker at Hordvikneset . Upon arriving at Balane I left my bike behind and continued on foot. At first I failed to find the trailhead and ended up in a playground where my progress was quickly blocked by a fence. The proper trailhead was however located next and I could then follow a surprisingly nice trail almost all the way to the trig marker. For the final stretch a much weaker trail had to be used but in the end the marker was reached without any issues. No views at all from the trig marker but given the nice trail I assumed there would be better views close by. I therefore returned to the main trail and followed it north to Kråkeberget (now added as its own PB-element) where I was rewarded by great views towards Norhordlandsbroen, Holsenøy, Flatøy and Knarvik. >>>

"Strafferunde" towards Hardangerjøkulen...

Upon returning to Finse after completing Jøkulrunden I now had two choices: forget about the lost climbing skin and simply take the train back to Bergen or make a second ascent towards Hardangerjøkulen in an attempt to locate the skin and take the next train instead. After a short break I decided on the latter and started my "strafferunde" across Finsevatnet. During my ascent to Appelsinhytta I asked several of the skiers coming the other way if they had seen a single orange climbing skin during their descent but none had. Just below Appelsinhytta I spotted something in the distance that looked promising, however it turned out to be a small stuffed animal (more on than later), and my search had to continue. But not long after Appelsinhytta, shortly before the marked route takes a sharp left turn, I again spotted something in the distance >>>

Jøkulrunden on May 17th!

Tourlänge:

Entfernung:
22,5km

For the first time I decided to have a go at celebrating May 17th (Norway's constitution day) at Finse. I therefore took the morning train from Bergen to Finse where I was ready to start skiing shortly after the train arrived at 10:30. As expected I was far from alone and could simply follow the constant stream of skiers heading towards Hardangerjøkulen . The so-called Jøkulrunden, a roundtrip via the highest point of the glacier, is also marked with wooden sticks during the spring but these were not really needed today. While I had started from Finse in a T-shirt, and many others were skiing in shorts, a relatively strong and cold wind resulted in a change to warmer clothing soon after passing by Appelsinhytta . For the same reason, the stops at both Jøkulhytta and the summit were cut short. Before continuing on Jøkulrunden I also >>>

Onen from Austdalen

Entfernung:
20,7km

For the second Sunday in a row I caught an early train to Voss to going skiing with Voss Utferdslag . This time our goal was Onen in Ulvik/Eidfjord . At 08:00 we were transported by bus from Voss to Osa and then up to Austdalen p-plass at around 760 meters above the sea level. During the summer it is possible to drive much further but today we could put on the skies only a couple hundred meters after leaving the parking lot. We followed the road to Austdølvatnet before taking a shortcut up to Langvatnet. When walking along the dam we briefly had to take of the skis a couple of times but we after a lunch break next to the lake we could put the skis back on and begin the final ascent to the summit. The summit was reached without any issues and provided an excellent panoramic view. After a short break next to the summit cairn we returned the same way, including another >>>

A short hike in Arna to visit Gaukavarden and Hinderåsen (the latter added as its own PB-element). I got off at "Haukeland sør" and followed Brattlandsvegen until just west of the summit. From there I headed off-trail to the summit which was easily reached. The views were limited by the low-hanging clouds but I could at least see Haukelandsvatnet. I descended north along a weak trail that turned into a tractor road before connecting with the gravel road north of Gaukavarden. Next, I made a quick visit of Hinderåsen , which despite its name (directly translates into "obstacle hill"), could be ascended without any issues. It even provided ok views to the north with Loneheia visible in the distance. While there was a weak trail continuing north from the highest point, after passing through a gate, I decided to not >>>
