Kyrelvfjellet

Dato:
07.06.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:59t
Distanse:
4,6km

After our successful ascent of Nipahøgdi , we drove the short distance south towards Langavatnet for an attempt at ascending Kyrelvfjellet . Thankfully, this part of the road had been cleared of snow and we could therefore easily drive all the way to our planned starting point east of the summit. Here Endre decided to have a go at the last skiing trip of the season, while Petter and I concluded that it would be just as easy to continue on foot for this peak as well. Initially, we followed a route marked with small cairns leading us to the small 1168 lake east of the summit. The cairns can most likely be followed all the way to the summit, at least they reappeared higher up, but for now they were hidden underneath the snow. After a short steep ascent that may be more tricky under different conditions, we could easily complete the final distance to the >>>

Petter picked me up at my place shortly after six, having already picked up Endre , and together we made the long drive to Austdalen. Our goal was to drive as high up as possible and then see how many of the peaks that each of us had left we could manage to ascend. At around 970 meters above sea level, just before the last bend in the road below Austdalsnutvatnet, we came across the first patch of snow blocking our way. We left the car behind and continued on foot along the road. We had brought skis but decided to leave them in the car. There were still extended stretches of road without any snow but it quickly became clear that we could not have driven much further anyway, as the road was soon largely hidden underneath the snow. Upon arriving at Floksefonnvatnet, we left the road and headed off-trail towards >>>

Godvikaskjenet and Storhaugen

Dato:
25.05.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:56t
Distanse:
4,0km

Two small hills on the Alle topper i Bergen list that I had put off visiting due to both basically being inside someone's backyard. Godvikaskjenet however turned out to be a positive surprise as the dense undergrowth I had expected to power through had been replaced by a gravel road! Hence there was only a very short off-trail section required before connecting with the weak trail along the ridge. This summit was therefore reached without any real issues. Storhaugen was another matter. While it is perhaps technically possible to reach the summit without trespassing, it definitely did not feel that way, and I ended up stopping around 40 meters from the highest point. But I will still put it in the "been there, done that, definitely not coming back" category. It might be possible to ascend from the north instead but not without it >>>

Garnes to Indre Arna via Ådnanipa

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:21t
Distanse:
7,0km

A return to Arna for a revisit of Ådnanipa via a (for me) new route from Garnes. I had also considered continuing to Skåldalsfjellet , but the cold wind made this less appealing. Instead, I descended via a steep trail that on more than one occasion bordered on scrambling. Probably easier as an ascent route.

Svabergfjellet from Sollibotn

Turlengde:
7:31t
Distanse:
20,5km

A return to Gulen to complete the ascent of Svabergfjellet that I had to abandon due to running out of time during my hike three weeks earlier . Once more I took the express boat from Bergen and followed the gravel path towards Eivindvik but this time skipping the visit of Gulakvila and Kvitebergnova and instead heading directly to Undertun and the marked trailhead for the hike around Undertundalen. After a quick stop at Flogefjellet , I continued east towards Svabergfjellet via Flolifjellet on a rather weak and (at best) inconsistently marked trail. But at least the otherwise potentially challenging descent into Floliskardet was clearly marked and the overall direction, except for the descent to Floliskardet, was pretty obvious. Due to a strong and cold wind at the summit, I did not stay long at Svabergfjellet but quickly continued towards Heia and Ormekletten , still on a rather weak and inconsistently >>>

Nordbykollen from Drammen stasjon

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:03t
Distanse:
9,8km

When having to arrive the day before to attend a two-day conference in Oslo, I decided to leave Bergen early such that I could also get the chance to include a short hike. After flying to Gardermoen I continued by train to Drammen from where I set aim for Nordbykollen just as it stopped raining and the sun started to appear. I quickly came across signs for Nordbykollen which I could more or less follow all the way to the summit. I did however make a couple of minor detours on the way, including an ascent of Svenskeåsen and a lunch break at Speiderhytta , before heading to the large lookout tower at the top of Nordbykollen. I descended via an alternative route and then returned the same way to the train station. Overall, a nice short hike with excellent views from the summit thanks to the tower.

Oppstemten and Hellerane

Turlengde:

Distanse:
5,9km

Short hike before heading home from work. For the descent I explored a new route via Hellerane . Weak and steepish at the top but otherwise ok. Probably works even better as an ascent route though and should most likely be avoided in the winter when there is snow and ice. Nice viewpoint at Hellerane.
