The first day of my extended Christmas holiday was spent travelling to Etne to ascend Matskårhaugane . Getting there from Bergen took around five hours by bus (and ferry), including an hour-long stop in Aksdal ( which I used to visit Alvdalsnuten ). Upon finally arriving in Etne, I got off at the bus stop Madsgård (which I assume is the same as Matskår on the map). While it most likely would have been fine to follow the tractor roads directly west to the summit, similar to what Petter and Kjell had recently done , I did not take the chance of potentially being stopped by a local farmer. Instead I followed a route similar to PinusSylvestris and ascended from Røynesnes to the north and hoped that I would not come across any of the large cattle shown in his trip report . This largely off-trail ascent was relatively straightforward, although the half-frozen ground with lots of traces of the above-mentioned cattle >>>

On my way to ascend Matskårhaugane I had an hour at Aksdal between arriving with the express bus from Bergen and continuing with the local bus to Etne. Instead of waiting at the bus stop, or hanging out at Aksdal Senter, I decided on a quick visit of Alvanuten and its dagsturhytte . There was an easy-to-follow trail starting from the end of Alvanutvegen that took me all the way to the cabin with the summit right next to it. After enjoying the excellent views, I returned the same way and made it to the bus terminal with around ten minutes to spare.

A revisit of Nordgardsfjellet via a (for me) new trail from Kistebakkane. From the summit I followed the trail north towards Salhus with a quick stop at Rundhaugen . Overall easy to follow trails, although quite wet, and with nice views along the way.

Sunday hike with the main objective of ascending Langelihøgdi , a minor summit on the Opptur Hordaland list . I started by taking the train to Voss and the bus to Folkedal, or more specifically Nedre Folkedal. Here I got off the bus and continued on foot along the paved road to Øvre Folkedal where a gravel-covered toll road led me up towards Helgastøl . Just south of Helgastøl I left the now very icy gravel road and did my best to follow the partially hidden marked trail via Helgastøl until getting just east of Langelihøgdi. The summit could then easily be reached via a short off-trail detour. After a short break to enjoy the excellent views to the surrounding higher peaks, I returned the same way to Helgastøl. Initially I had considered going via Kalvbakkehøgdi and Håli during the descent, but in the end I decided to not take any chances that could result in missing >>>

After completing the ascent of Orretuva , we drove the short distance south to southwest of Steine. Here we parked right next to the marked trailhead, where there was room for a couple of cars without blocking the small side road, turned on our headlamps and made our best attempt at following the marked trail to the summit of Kistefjellet . Not the easiest trail to follow in the dark, but the reflective arm bands used to mark the trail made it slightly easier, at least when the distance between them was not too long. The highest point was in the end located without any real issues and we quickly returned the same way to the car in an attempt to catch the next ferry at Duesund. We however arrived at Duesund just as the ferry left and had to return to Sløvågen to catch the ferry there instead, making it with maybe two minutes to spare. All >>>

Orretuva from Fivesdal

3.1km

While our ascent to Øksefjellet had been pretty easy due to the marked trail, we had failed to locate any trails to Orretuva . We therefore parked the car at a small parking lot near Fivelsdal, shortly walked east along the main road, and made our own way towards the summit. Initially it seemed as if we had been lucky and stumbled across a weak trail/track but it quickly disappeared, even though we would see traces of it during later parts of the ascent as well. Reaching the highest point was in the end still relatively straightforward. As it was now getting dark, we did not stay long before returning more or less the same way back to the car. While the headlamps were not needed for the hike itself, we made sure to turn them on for the short walk along the paved road, as there were of course no sidewalk. Back in the car, we drove >>>

After ascending Midtbøfjellet , we drove east where we easily located the marked trailhead for Øksefjellet . Finding a place to park required a bit more searching, but we managed to find a spot next to the road just north of the trailhead. The marked trail, although rather wet, could be followed with relative ease all the way to the summit cairn. With the rain now finally having caught up with us, we did not stay long before returning the same way and then continued south for the sixth ascent of the day, namely Orretuva .
