Kambafjellet and Blåfjellet

Datum:
28.03.2018
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
2:32h
Entfernung:
12,1km

Started by taking the ski lift from Rindabotn and from the top followed the tracks of previous skiers across Kambafjellet towards Blåfjellet . Upon reaching the large cairn at Blåfjellet I continued east towards the real slightly taller summit. No tracks to follow here. After removing the climbing skins I made my own way down to the Red Cross cabin (called Britabu) located right next to Britastein, before following the standard skiing trail back down to Rindabotn. Overall an excellent trip that can be highly recommended!

Followed the standard skiing trail from Rindabotn around Fjærlandssetvatnet. The only detour was an attempt to reach Dyrhovden , which in the end had to be abandoned due to not having enough time to find a safe ascent to the summit.

Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
3:55h

6,2km

Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association where the goal was to reach Torstadnakken . But due to low-hanging clouds and very poor visibility the trip had to be cut short at Grøssete . Still an enjoyable trip despite the bad weather conditions though.

Across Vidden via Grøvlevatnet and Hauggjelsvarden

Datum:
17.03.2018
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
6:43h
Entfernung:
24,2km

Started by taking the bus to Haukeland sykehus and following the standard route towards Ulriken . More complicated than expected as the gravel road was covered with ice (a theme that would return at the end of the hike...). It improved slightly when I left the main trail for Ulriken, put on the skis, and headed south to Grøvlevatnet, but also here there were stretches with more ice than proper snow. The original plan had been to follow the summer trail to Turnerhytten , but it seemed like the preferred winter route is a bit further to the east, so I opted for this instead. There were plenty of traces of skiers, but this morning I only met one other skier until I got close to Hauggjelsvarden , but then there were plenty. The route itself was quite nice, with excellent views towards Gullfjellet . I should have brought my full-length climbing >>>

Hjortland to Lønborg

Datum:
10.03.2018
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
7:12h
Entfernung:
22,6km

I was dropped off at the parking lot at Hjortland and from there followed the snow-covered gravel road towards Norhytten (one can also arrive by bus to Flaktveitrinden, but then one has to carry the skis for about 2 km). The trip soon turned into backcountry skiing with only one or two tracks to follow made by earlier skiers. As I got close to Norhytten these tracks also more or less disappeared, and so did the sun, plus it started snowing lightly, resulting in poor visibility. Still straightforward to reach Norhytten, but from there onwards to Borga it was a bit more complicated, and I had to reduce the speed to ensure that I was on the right course. Not the best views from the summit of Borga today. The visibility improved slightly for the descent, but for safety I still followed my own tracks. I continued to Vikinghytten , via Grønetua . No tracks >>>

Rundemanen and Kvitebjørnen

Datum:
06.03.2018
Tourcharakter:
Tourenskilauf
Tourlänge:
4:09h
Entfernung:
15,7km

Started from the upper station of Fløibanen and after a quick detour to Skomakerdiket I took the shortest route to Brushytten , from where I followed Blåmansveien to arrive at Rundemanen . I continued northwest across Kvitebjørnen all the way to Dræggehytten , before turning southeast to Ankerhytten . Here I tried skiing down the shortcut to Munkebotsvatnet, but ended up having to walk the last bit due to too many trees and not enough snow. The trip was completed by putting on the skis again and following Hellemyrstien back to Lønborg. A very nice trip in perfect winter weather: blue skies and close to no wind. And in areas where there is usually not enough snow for skiing. There could have been just a little bit more snow at times though, as then one would not have to constantly be on the lookout for rocks...

Fløyen, Brushytten and Sandviksfjellet

Datum:
04.03.2018
Tourcharakter:
Langlauf
Tourlänge:
3:33h
Entfernung:
15,6km

My plan had been to take Fløibanen and start skiing from the upper station, but upon arriving at Fløibanen there was a bit of a queue, so I decided to walk instead. At the upper station I put on my skis and made one round in "Lysløypen" before heading north for Sandviksfjellet . Getting to the summit of Sandviksfjellet on skis turned out to be harder than expected, as the path is not really made for skiing. The stretch from the summit towards to Sandvikspilen was however slightly better. From Sandvikspilen I tried a shortcut through the woods to reconnect with the gravel road. This turned out to be a mistake (too many trees and not enough snow), so not really a shortcut in the end. Finally, the trip was concluded by skiing down the snow-covered gravel road and taking Hellemyrstien to Lønborg.

Across Vidden

Very nice winter weather in downtown Bergen, but as Ulriksbanen approached the upper station we started to see (and feel) the strong winds. (Some fellow skiers even decided to take the cable car back down again.) Luckily we could prepare the skis inside before exiting into the very strong southeastern winds. However, besides the strong winds the conditions were close to perfect, and in the small pockets where we could stay out of the wind it was easy to forget the cold wind and enjoy the views. We followed the standard winter route across Vidden, and after turning north, and later northwest, the wind was no longer a major factor. After a short lunch break in Hyttelien, we continued to Rundemanen and from there followed Blåmansveien on the way down to Brushytten . At Rundemanen the strong winds could again be felt, but as >>>
