Folgefonna to Jondal via Storafjellet and Grytingsfjellet

Datum:
02.08.2025
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:58h
Entfernung:
23,8km

I started my journey by taking the bus to Norheimsund, the passenger ferry to Herand and finally a second bus via Jondal up to Folgefonna Skisenter . From the parking lot at the ski center I returned along the paved road down to Hestadalen p-plass . Here I continued on a trail marked with red T's towards Breidsete before shortly starting my off-trail ascent to Storafjellet . Or so I thought. Very quickly I however came across another trail marked with small cairns that led me all the way to the summit, hence it ought to be possible to stay on a trail all the way from the paved road. After a short break at the summit to take in the excellent views, I continued northwest to Grytingsfjellet . No trails or cairns marking the way here as far as I could tell. Lots of minor ups and downs and one or two steeper sections that had to be carefully navigated, but with one exception, >>>

Åsen i Samdalen

Entfernung:
6,5km

For my ascent of Åsen I took inspiration from one of Helwig 's three visits and made an attempt to replicate their steep ascent from the north . After getting off the bus at the last stop in Hausdalen, I walked the short distance along the gravel road for an easy crossing of the river, skipping the unstable bridge and instead using a couple of steeping stones to easily cross to the other side without getting my shoes wet. When approaching the steep ascent I noticed that it seemed to mainly consist of small and large rocks. This was fine at first but when the steepness increased, I started wondering about the stability and moved to the left. Here I came across a weak trail/animal track that avoided most of the rocks and actually resulted in a relatively easy ascent. The terrain soon became much less steep and I continued southwest until >>>

Hyvingen, Grånakken and Giljafjell from Ålvik

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
7:48h
Entfernung:
24,4km

Started by taking the train to Voss and from there continued by bus to Ålvik. Here I easily located the marked trailhead and proceeded to follow the marked trail towards Roaldsdalen. The first part was quite steep and potentially difficult if wet or icy, although there were rope-based railings for extra safety. No need for these today though. As I continued north at the first forking of the trail at Krossfuru, the terrain turned much less steep and I could enjoy a nice walk along Dalselvi until the trail forked again and began winding its way up to Oskarborg and Toppen. The trail to Oskarborg was often rather weak, especially at this time of the year when partially hidden by the tall grasses, however, with a few exceptions, the red markers were easy to follow. For extra safety, given that the trail >>>

After getting off the train at Hallingskeid , I continued southeast along Rallarvegen with the goal to cross the river via a bridge between Låghellervatnet and Høghellervatnet that I had spotted on the map. However, upon arriving it became clear that this crossing was not going to happen. All that was left of the bridge were the two supporting wires. There was nothing to do but continue east to find another place to cross. North of Låghellerbotnen I left the gravel road and after fording a small stream I could finally start my ascent to Vestre Låghellerhøgdene . The off-trail ascent to the summit was straightforward. I made sure to visit both competing highest points, with the eastern one being ever so slightly higher (maybe only 1 cm?) while the western one contained the remains of a fallen down trig marker. I turned my attention >>>

Storsåta from Hjortlandsvegen

6,5km

Tried two alternative routes to/from Storsåta . The ascent route was ok but the trail was quite weak at times, while the descent route, except for the upper part, followed a much nicer trail. Maybe next time I'll instead go for the righthand option where the trail from Hjortlandsvegen forks early on.
