Morvikavarden, Olderhaug, and Geitanuken

Dato:
01.03.2026
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,5km

With also this Sunday inviting us to get some fresh air, we decided to visit Geitanuken again, while making it a round (an elongated one) from/to Åsane. We parked right next to Myrdalsvegen, not far from Åsane Arena, and then headed into the direction of Stornipa, first. In the northwest of Åsane Arena, we then also found a way to get over and into the forest. Stepping up to Stornipa was then just a question of a few minutes and the forest is actually quite nice there. Next, we wished to explore Morvikavarden and to get there, we crossed over Stornipa to connect with road Myrdalskogen in the north. On the northwestern side of "the big bend" of Myrdalskogen, we found an opportunity to "short-cut" further upwards through the forest. After yet again walking along Myrdalskogen >>>

Vassberget, Kvamsfjellet, and Tveitavarden

Dato:
28.02.2026
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
10,0km

We expected a nice day and wished to make a nice, moderate hike with a chance to catch some sun, also. After first looking at Tveitavarden, Kvamsfjellet, and Vassberget, north of Knarvik, we then found a description of a hike over these hills, but in reverse order, providing additional motivation to explore this part of Alver. After driving there from Bergen, we parked right next to Lindåsvegen, where Årdalen comes down from the northwest. Walking up Årdalen, we then found the trail head for Vassberget, which is nicely marked with a sign. Following this trail, we quickly made it up the ridge in the southwest of Kråkstidalen, but instead of crossing over this valley (as the main trail does), we continued further northwards on the ridge (into the direction of Litlevassberget). At times and with some phantasy, >>>

Nice round around Småvatnet near Alvøen

Dato:
21.02.2026
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,6km

There was an idea of spring in the air and so we decided to make a round around Småvatnet near Alvøen. We parked in the north, right next to Alvøveien, not far from the soccer fields there. To get south towards Småvatnet, we first crossed over Ospehaugen. Further south, we then started our round around the lake by exploring the small peninsular in the west of Slettebakksvika. Next was then to walk around Slettebakksvika and heading further south on the east-side of Småvatnet. This stretch is a bit interesting, since one has to find a way to get through (with quite some cliffs connecting more or less directly to Småvatnet). Since we had done this before, we knew that it could be done, and so it was without difficulties that we made it to Gullaksdalen. From there, we then followed >>>

Skiing Bildøybakken

Dato:
14.02.2026
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,2km

With new snow outside, we decided to take our skies and head towards Bildøybakken for an excursion into the snow. We parked at the lower end of the road which leads up to the dam of Bildøyvatnet, then following this road up to the dam. From there, we then ascended to Bildøyfjellet. Then, we continued across the heights of Bildøybakken (southwards to Vardafjellet). We then decided to connect to the southern end of Bildøyvatnet in order to cross it (on skies) south-to-north. This worked just fine and it did not take us all to long before we were back where we had started the afternoon. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Marmorøyen, Flatøyna, and Ulvøyna

Dato:
08.02.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
5,0km

With everthing still frozen, we thought that it could work to simply walk over to Marmorøyen in Nordåsvatnet. We parked near Troldhaugen and approached the ice via Frants Beyers veg. While the ice on top of Nordåsvatnet indeed was thick and sturdy, it wasn't all trivial to get onto it -- due to the tides, the ice was broken up near the shore. One attempt to get onto the ice right at the beginning then ended up with breaking into the water right away (just with one leg). After finding a better spot, it then worked without problems. This little mishap in the beginning, however, resulted in the decimation of the walking team (from three down to two). Once on the ice, the next question was where a good "landing place" would be on Marmorøyen. Heading a bit outwards of Marmorsundet >>>

Ørnahaugen, then back across Gjeddevatnet

Dato:
01.02.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,9km

Yet again we just wished to go for a short walk. We started into the direction of Knappen, but decided to aim northwards, instead, this time. Just walking along the streets around Bjørgedalen, we made it to Kjerreidvika. We then thought that we could use the wintery conditions to ascend to Ørnahaugen via its steep southeastern side. This worked out well. We then descended back down from Ørnahaugen towards the east (Sæleidet). We then thought that we could use the icy lake cover of Bjørndalsvatnet to get over to Elvareidet without disturbing the people living there. On the other side, we first tried to get up this rather narrow valley north of Elvareidet. Since we encountered too much ice there, however, we abandoned this plan. Instead, we then thought that it would be something >>>

Local exploration in Kanadaskogen

Dato:
31.01.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,3km

We wished to get some fresh air around our heads. After first heading towards the soccer fields north of Varden, we then decided to visit Gjeddevatnet, also. On the way down to Skogadotten, we came across a part of the forest with lots of ice -- interesting! :-) We then headed towards Skaget, just a few meters further north, where also the terrain -- otherwise very wet -- was deeply frozen. This gave us the opportunity to have a quick look at some new construction there (it seems as if the area is prepared for visitors there). After then walking back up to the sports arena, we still wished to do a bit more. Walking further north, we ended up exploring the hills between Hesjakollen and Krokatjønnveien. Once satisfied there, we then headed back to Varden. Selected photos are available >>>

Oasen from/to Varden

Dato:
30.01.2026
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
4,7km

I had something to do at "central Fyllingsdalen" (Oasen), so I decided to just walk there (and back). See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Fanafjellet from Fana

Dato:
25.01.2026
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
7,1km

We thought that all the frozen ground condition would be just right for an excursion to Fanafjellet (which on a regular day can be very wet, especially when walking around up there off-trail). We parked in Fana near Fanastølen and then started our hike with a short ascent to Marietoppen. While Marietoppen is just a small hill, it is actually interesting to find extended remains from WWII defense structures on its top. After this initial visit to Marietoppen, we then aimed to find a good way up to Fanafjellet. While we first considered checking an opportunity to do this "straight up" in the south of Marietoppen, we then decided that walking a small detour via Saganeset would bring us nicely up to a proper trail at Høgaberget. When near Bukkamyrane at about 175masl, we then followed >>>

Ørnafjellet and Lyderhorn from Nedberget

Dato:
24.01.2026
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,6km

We aimed at some nice excursion, not too far out, and chose Ørnafjellet, i.e., the little sister or brother of Lyderhorn. To get there, we decided to park near Nedberget at Kjøkkelvik and hike up from there. The ascent through the forest was just fine, even though there was quite a bit of ice (especially in the rather narrow part before reaching the heights). Once up, we then started to surround Skåleviksvatnet in order to get over to Ørnafjellet and ascend it from the north. After visiting Ørnafjellet, we continued our little round on the heights to Skjenafjellet. There, we decided that including Lyderhorn, also, was just the right thing to do. After visiting Lyderhorn, then, we just walked back down to Nedberget to complete the hike. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the >>>
