Alpine Tour Skiing to Mount Hesten

Dato:
27.03.2021
Turlengde:
5:22t
Distanse:
12,1km

My son and I tried to reach the summit of Mount Hesten [i.e. “The Horse”] on skis even some weeks ahead of this day’s skiing tour, but as we started out too late in the afternoon, and darkness also came very early at that time of the year; we only reached a viewpoint on the west ridge of the mountain on that day. [For a description of that tour, follow this link: Attempt at Ski Touring to Mount Hesten in Rauma Municipality ]. On this day, therefore, we started driving from home much earlier, in order to get an earlier start; and combined with the slightly longer days that we have by now, we believed it should be easier to reach the summit on this day. We parked at Herdslan Parking Lot as on the previous occasion, but on this day there was not much snow in the forest along the road; and so we carried our skis, and walked up to another parking lot, >>>

Alpine Tour Skiing to Mount Høgenibba in Volda Municipality

Dato:
13.03.2021
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Turlengde:
2:47t
Distanse:
8,2km

Earlier this winter, my son had read a tour description for alpine skiing to the summit of Mount Høgenibba in Volda Municipality in the County of Møre & Romsdal. Vi did indeed go to the skiing center in Horningdalen Valley in mid December, intending to ascend the mountain on skis; but on that occasion we ended up with ascending another mountain, as snow was way too scarce in Horningdalen Valley at that time. But on this day we decided to go back there, to make a new attempt, and at this time there was much more snow than it was on the previous occasion. There was sure no abundance of snow in the lower part of the trail, but at lest enough to embark upon our tour as we had planned before leaving home. Horningdal Skiing Centre is a downhill alpine skiing arena with a little drag lift climbing >>>

To Mount Grøtshornet with my Son Dag

Dato:
27.02.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:28t
Distanse:
10,5km

I have on one previous occasion ascended Mount Grøthornet along with my oldest son and my youngest daughter, but on that occasion the weather was so rainy and foggy that we didn't see a thing from up there; so when my son now asked me if I'd like to have another hike up there, I immediately responded with a "yes". And so we went by car to a location called Vatneeidet (see map), and parked outside the supermarket there. (The parking lot is, strictly speaking, reserved for customers at the supermarket and some nearby stores; but they don't have that many customers on Saturdays, so it's very unlikely that they will have your car removed). Setting out from the parking lot, we crossed county road 661, and then followed an old forest road in a westward direction (see GPS tracking). After >>>

Alpine Tour Skiing to Mount Bergsetnakken

Dato:
06.02.2021
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Turlengde:
2:45t
Distanse:
7,2km

For this day, my son had suggested we visit a mountain called Bergsetnakken, located in Stryn Municipality in the county of Vestland. And so took the roughly 3 hours drive by car, and arrived at Blaksæter in Stryn, where we parked our car at Kjennhaugmyra Parking Lot . The location was indeed very nice. After leaving County road 698, which follows the fjord called Nordfjord, you climb up the mountainside by car, following a rather narrow farmland road that has a number of hairpin bends; and then all of a sudden you're there. Stryn Winter Camp School is located in a building at this site, and in the slopes above it, Bjørkelibakken Ski Jump Arena is located (Images ## 3, 4 & 5). We put our boot and skis on, and started going upwards to the left of the ski jumps. At one point we must've missed >>>

Snow Shoe Hike to Mount Myklebusthornet

Dato:
30.01.2021
Turtype:
Trugetur
Turlengde:
1:11t
Distanse:
4,4km

Mount Myklebusthornet is a little mountain [329 m.a.m.s.l.] on an island called Ellingsøya in the municipality of Ålesund in the County of Møre & Romsdal on the west coast of Norway. The name Myklebusthornet is composed of the Norse word mykill bústaðr , which means large farm or l arge habitation; and the modern Norwegian horn, which simply means horn. The mountain is actually part of a mountain range that extends along the entire length of the island; with a number of peaks, among which Myklebusthornet is the highest. This mountain range is usually very well suited for jogging, as well as for short mountain treks, as the climb towards most of the peaks aren't that steep, though it depends of course a little on which route you choose for your climb. Moreover, due to its costal location, >>>

Moonlight Hike on Mount Ulriken

Dato:
27.01.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:11t
Distanse:
4,4km

The city of Bergen, on the west coast of Norway, has traditionally been named The City Between the Seven Mountains . There has always been some discussions about which mountains should actually be counted among the seven, as you have several options; but it is generally agreed that Mount Ulriken is definitely one of them. The elevation of the summit is 643 m.a.m.s.l., with a vertical separation of only 40 meters. The summit isn't actually visible from downtown Bergen, however, so the peak or "top" that people generally refer to when they talk about Mount Ulriken, is the west peak, which has an elevation of 607 meters and a vertical separation of 19 meters. Moreover, this western peak of the mountain has a splendid viewpoint overlooking most of the city of Bergen, it has a nice little >>>

Ski Touring to Mount Snortungen [1193]

Dato:
23.01.2021
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Turlengde:
5:25t
Distanse:
10,3km

I have lately been ascending a number of mountains in the Rauma Municipality in the county of Møre & Romsdal in the western part of Norway. This municipality has a lot of nice mountains, and my intention has been to climb at least all those with an altitude of more than 1000 m.a.m.s.l. one by one. And so, on this day, I drove to the fjord called Isfjorden [i.e. “The Ice Fjord”] in Rauma, intending to climb Mount Snortungen, which has an altitude of 1198 m.a.m.s.l. I parked at a parking lot at a location called Breivik . In Norwegian, the word brei means broad, and the word vik means bay; so the meaning of the name “Breivik” is simply “The Broad Bay”. (Now, there are many broad bays along the 2000 km coast line of Norway, and this particular one has no connection to the Norwegian >>>

Attempt at Ski Touring to Mount Hesten in Rauma Municipality

Dato:
16.01.2021
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Turlengde:
4:17t
Distanse:
7,4km

On this day, my son asked me if I'd like to join him on an alpine skiing tour to Mount Hesten. He had resently read a brief tour report on Facebook by someone who had recently visited the mountain on skis, and so he had figured he'd give the mountain a try as well. Mount Hesten is a mountain located in Rauma Municipality in the County of Møre & Romsdal. The mountain has several peaks located in a horseshoe-fashion. Here on Peakbook they have been named Hesten Northwest [1481 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten [1610 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten S1 [1580 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten S2 [1590 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten S3 [1634 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten S4 [1560 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten S5 [1650 m.a.m.s.l.], Hesten Southwest [1570 m.a.m.s.l.], and Litlehesten [1575 m.a.m.s.l.]. The meaning of the Norwegian word Hesten is The Horse, and the >>>

To Mount Sulafjellet in Bad Weather

Dato:
09.01.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:46t
Distanse:
11,4km

Mount Sulafjellet is a mountain that I've ascended multiple times, and yet I will probably ascend that mountain even more times in the future; as it is not too far away from where we live, and also because it's feasible to climb even when there's too much snow to climb many other mountains around here. The mountain has several peaks, the highest of which has been named Tverrfjellet [i.e. "The Transverse Mountain"], though most people today just call it Vardane [i.e. "The Cairns"], due to the many cairns that mountain hikers have built up there. The most feasible way to ascend this mountain is to start out from the parking lot at Mauseid (see map), and then follow a gravel road through the forests up to a cottage called Rollonhytta . The parking lot is located at about 50 m.a.m.s.l.; >>>

Two Trips to Mount Storehornet on Godøy Island

Dato:
02.01.2021
Turlengde:
2:14t
Distanse:
6,9km

Mount Storehornet on Godøy Island is a mountain that I have frequently climbed. I usually don't publish my climbs of that mountain here on Peakbook, as I've climbed it so many times. I have, however, been having an idea of photographing the Norwegian costal town of Ålesund at the entrance to the Georgian New Year, as the people of this town usually have a spectacular firework at this time of the year. And so, in late evening of December 31st, I climbed the mountain again, this time carrying a backpack with a camera and some lenses, along with a tripod; planning to capture some long exposure photos up there. I sat out from the parking lot just outside the tunnel opening at the peninsula of Alnes shortly before 11 o'clock in the evening. Usually, an hour is plenty of time to climb the mountain, >>>
