Skiing: Fløyen and Rundemanen

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Langlauf
Tourlänge:
3:47h
Entfernung:
17,5km

We started from the top of Fløibanen and first followed "lysløypen" before heading up to Rundemanen . More snow than expected and overall very good conditions for skiing. Especially for mid-April. Surprisingly we could even ski all the way down to Munkebotsvatnet before the skis had to be carried.

After initially failing to find any free parking spaces at Gullbotn (on either side of the main road), we ended up parking next to the road only a couple hundred meters to the south where there was room for maybe a dozen cars. We then returned on foot to Gullbotn and from there followed the skiing trail west. In order to stay in the sun, we ditched the option of ascending to Kråfjellet and rather headed north to Trengereidhotten , enjoying excellent skiing conditions and next to no wind. The wind however picked up a bit at the summit and we therefore did not stay long before starting our descent and rather taking our short lunch break about halfway back down to Gullbotn. To shorten the walk along the main road we did not return to the main parking lot, but instead passed by Kløverhytten on our way back to the car. Overall, an excellent >>>

Skiing across Vidden

Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
4:32h
Entfernung:
23,8km

A repeat of my earlier skiing trip across Vidden from Montana, but this time with a (for me) new winter ascent route which basically consisted of carrying the skis along the hiking trail until almost reaching Vassdalsvatnet. From there I connected with the normal route across Vidden before taking a quick detour to the highest point at Byfjellene . Generally there were almost as many hikers as skiers. I therefore tried to stay away from the main trail as much as possible in order to achieve the best skiing conditions. The skis stayed on all the way until getting to the start of Hellemyrstien, where I figured it was as quick to carry the skis the rest of the way.

A repeat of my earlier skiing trip to Brushytten and back, but this time together with Sigjoern (Sigbjørn Holm) and Marthine. Relatively cold evening with -9 at Brushytten. Excellent skiing conditions though, and the skis stayed on all the way until reaching the top of Øyjorden.

We started by taking the bus to Montana and carried our skis up to Perabu . From there we skied south to Gløvrevatnet and followed the ridge up to Lidskjalv . After passing by Noreg and Turnerhytten , I made a quick detour on my own to the highest point at Byfjellene , before we followed the typical skiing route across Vidden and onwards to Brushytten . Overall excellent skiing conditions all the way until leaving "lysløypen" and heading for Storediket. Here the snow was increasingly replaced by ice. I still managed to keep the skis on until getting to Vannverkshuset i Skiveien , where I finally gave up and carried the skis for the rest of the trip.

Skiing at Fløyen

Entfernung:

Yet another skiing trip at Fløyen, but this time starting by taking Fløibanen to avoid the icy ascent roads. Very few people at Fløibanen, maybe just over ten in total. Which was a bit strange given the close to perfect skiing conditions in "lysløypen"! The descent in the direction of Munkebotsvatnet was more challenging, with conditions varying from hard snow to packed ice. I still kept the skis on until close to the end of the steep descent below Vannverkshuset i Skiveien . Would probably have been possible to continue further, but walking was almost as fast and much safer. The snow chains did however not come on until getting to the start of Hellemyrstien (and was perhaps not even needed there either).

At around three in the afternoon I finally managed to leave the home office to enjoy the tail end of yet another beautiful winter day in Bergen. Started by carrying the skis up to the top of Øyjorden and then skied to the start of the gravel road up from Munkebotsvatnet. Here I carried the skis up to Grindarasten , from where the skis stayed on until returning to Øyjorden almost three hours later. From Brushytten I also made a quick visit to Blåmansveien utsiktspunkt for some spectacular views before starting the descent. The head lamp was not required until passing by Storediket.

The first skiing trip of 2021! After getting all of the meetings out of the way before lunch, I took the rest of the day off to enjoy the excellent winter weather. Decided on an unusual ascent route based on carrying the skis from Munkebotn via Skredderdalen. Worked out ok, but there are clearly easier options. The skis came on at the top of Skredderdalen and stayed on until arriving at the top of Øyjorden.

With all meetings suddenly cancelled due to the Coronavirus, I decided to instead make use of the perfect weather for a skiing trip in Steinskvanndalen, an area I had previously only visited in the summer. We parked at Løkjentunet, paid the 100 kr fee via Vipps, and from there walked a short stretch along the main road to Kvernavollen. After some initial struggles, we finally connected with the marked ski trail to Steinskvanndalen and could enjoy freshly laid ski tracks. We continued north to Øvre Kvanndalsvatnet (the last stretch without any tracks), before turning back and reconnecting with the marked ski trail, which we then followed for a roundtrip, finally taking us back to the main road. Again, we struggled to find the best route towards the main road, first making a detour in the wrong >>>

Given the excellent winter weather, which potentially would only last for one day, I decided to take the day off and go skiing at Fløyen. More snow than expected, and I could keep the skis on all the way to the top of Øyjorden (although for the stretch along Langevatnet there were some sections with almost no snow). The GPS decided to take a break in between Storediket and Munkebotsvatnet, i.e. I did not take the "shortcut" indicated on the map. :)
