To Mount Gryta in Stryn Municipality

Dato:
05.12.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
7,4km

On this day, there was some snow in the mountains, though not enough for skiing; at least most places. So my son and I opted for a mountain that we could ascend on foot on this day, and we were of course prepared to do the walk in snow about halfway up to our knees. A mountain well suited for such a trek, was Mount Gryta in Stryn Municipality in the County of Vestland. So we went to Stryn by car, and used Google map to find our way to Stryn Vinterskisenter [i.e. "Stryn Winter Skiing Center"]. This skiing center has been so named, because there is another one, much higher up in the mountains, that carries the name Stryn Sommerskisenter [i.e "Stryn Summer Skiing Center"]. From the parking lot at the ski centre, we followed a road through a cabin village called Bøasetra; a >>>

Ski Touring to Mount Smørbotstinden with my son

Dato:
28.11.2020
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Turlengde:
3:31t
Distanse:
8,1km

I have previously twice visited Mount Smørbottinden, the first time on Telemark skies, and the second time on alpine touring skis. For tour descriptions including a number of nice pictures, follow these links: Telemark Skiing to Mount Smørbottinden in Rauma Municipality and Alpine Ski Touring to Mount Smørbottind and Mount Kvasstind . The main difference this time compared to my two previous ascents of Mount Smørbotttinden, was that my son joined me this time, and it was actually he that suggested we make this trip. As on previous occasions we drove to Skorgedalen Valley in Rauma Municipality, parked at the parking lot by the ski resort in the valley; and from there we started skiing. The amount of snow was much less on this occasion compared to what it had been on my previous two visits. In the lower part of the trail, the snow was also wet and quite heavy; and at some places we had to cross some open creeks >>>

Til Niusen på Skøye med Dag

Dato:
21.11.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:17t
Distanse:
7,8km

Det hadde nylig falt en del snø, slik at det i de høye fjellene var for mye snø til å gå vanlige fjellturer, men samtidig var det fortsatt for lite med tanke på å skulle gå på ski. Så da foreslo eldstegutten min at vi kunne gå på Nihusen på skøye. Dette fjellet er ikke særlig høyt, bare 438 høydemeter, så man kommer seg alltids både opp og ned igjen, selv om det er litt glatt, og man bruker litt tid på turen. Vi kjørte til Skodje [lokal utt.: Skøye], og parkerte på parkeringsplassen bak rådhuset og legekontoret (se kart), og derfra fulgte vi Nihusvegen opp til skogen. Min sønn hadde vært på Nihusen før, og visste vegen, men med en god turbeskrivelse skulle det uansett ikke ha vært vanskelig å finne stien vi skulle følge gjennom skogen og opp på fjellet. Stien >>>

To Mount Saudehornet in Ørsta Municipality

Dato:
14.11.2020
Turtype:
Alpintur
Turlengde:
4:20t
Distanse:
10,4km

It had been snowing in the mountains lately, and so for this days mountain trek, we had been trying to pick a mountain not too high; in order to stay below the snow. And, as my son Dag had lately read a tour description about a mountain called Kyrkjetinden [i.e. "The Church Peak"] in Ørsta municipality in the County of Møre & Romsdal, we decided to go there. Kyrkjetinden is a peak located just about 6 kilometers or so from the town center of Ørsta, and it has an elevation of 1069 m.a.m.s.l.; and was thus located well beneath the altitude down to which the snow reached at this time. We drove to Ørsta, and parked at a little parking lot by a road called Fonnavegen, just by a training ground for dogs, which is located between this road and a little river located just there. There >>>

Tour Skiing to Mount Alnestinden with my Son Dag

Dato:
24.10.2020
Turtype:
Randonnée/Telemark
Turlengde:
3:31t
Distanse:
6,7km

There had been a substantial snowfall a few days ago, and we had lately seen some people sharing online that they had been tour skiing to the summit of Mount Alnestinden in the municipality of Rauma; and so my son and I decided to do the same. The local newspapers reported that there had just been a huge avalanche close to the summit of this mountain, though, but I knew this mountain quite well; and by that I mean well enough to be familiar with an alternative route that we could take to minimize the risk of being caught by an avalanche, if necessary. As we were heading towards Rauma this morning, however, I was a bit curious to see where the avalanche had been taking place, as there was something that didn’t quite add up in the newspaper report. First, the report said that the avalanche >>>

To Mount Breitinden and Mount Mannen with my Son

Dato:
10.10.2020
Turtype:
Alpintur
Turlengde:
7:04t
Distanse:
16,1km

We did set out for the Mountain called Breitinden [i.e. "The Broad Peak"] one week prior to this trip, but we never reached it on that day, mainly because we had limited time available; so on this day we decided to make a new attempt. Moreover, in order not to fail a second time, we opted for a more regular route this time; and so we set out from the Trollstigen Tourist Center, into the valley called Stigebotnen (see map). From this valley we climbed onto the mountain ridge that interconnects Mount Storgrovfjellet and Mount Breitinden, and thereafter we followed that ridge up to the top of Mount Breitinden. As you're coming up on the edge of this mountain ridge, you get a very good view of the peaks that the locals call the Troll Peaks [Norwegian: "Trolltindan"] i.e. the >>>

Over Stones and Rocks to Mount Stigebotshornet

Dato:
03.10.2020
Turlengde:
3:55t
Distanse:
7,5km

On this day, my son Dag suggested that we trek from Trollstigen Tourist Center to Mount Breitinden [1797 m.a.m.s.l.]. I immediately agreed to his suggestion, but then I suggested we take an unusual route to Mount Breitinden, by climbing up Mount Stigbotthornet, and then follow the mountain ridge all the way to Mount Breitinden. So, we drove to Trollstigen Tourist Center, where we parked our car; and then we started climbing up the south west ridge of Mount Stigbotthornet. This mountain ridge was quite steep, however. You can't just walk up there, you have to use both arms and legs, as you make your way upwards. The mountain was in no way too difficult for us to climb, but the climb was time consuming; and we had a bit limited time, as my son was scheduled to participate in a little party in >>>

To Mount Klovetinden and Mount Middagshornet

Dato:
26.09.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:17t
Distanse:
13,1km

On this particular day, I went mountain hiking with my oldest son and my youngest daughter. We discussed in advance where to go, and then my daughter came up with the suggestion of Mount Klovetinden [945 m.a.m.s.l.] in Ørsta Municipality, and the rest of us had no objection to it. We went with my daughter’s car to the ferry quay at Solevågseidet, crossed the fjord by the ferry; and then continued by car to the bay called Barstadvika, and then up to a cabin area called Barstadsætra, located about 190 m.a.m.s.l. (see map). We parked the car at the parking lot by the river, and then started hiking up the mountain along a nice, well marked, and readily visible trail. My daughter had been hiking in this area before, and new very well which trail we ought to choose. The first part of the trail >>>

Visiting Mount Nordre Trolltind with my Son

Dato:
19.09.2020
Turtype:
Alpintur
Turlengde:
7:00t
Distanse:
13,1km

I had previously visited Mount Nordre Trolltinden [1452 m.a.m.s.l.] once, in order to familiarize myself with this peak, and with a few other peaks around it; including Mount Store Trolltind [1788 m.a.m.s.l.]. A dream of mine is to one day join a team of climbers in an ascent from Mount Nordre Trolltinden [i.e. "Northern Troll Peak] to Mount Store Trolltinden [i.e. "Greater Troll Peak"], as these two peaks are interconnected by a ridge that may be climbed if you’re using ropes, and have the appropriate security equipment. [For a tour description of my previous climb to Mount Nordre Trolltinden, see Reconnaissance Hike to Mount Nordre Trolltind ] On this day, my son Dag asked me to join him for a climb to Mount Nordre Trolltinden, as he had never been there. The weather forecast for the day was excellent, and so I decided >>>

To Mount Sandfjellet in Vestnes Municipality

Dato:
05.09.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:51t
Distanse:
10,7km

This particular hike was one that my oldest son, Dag, recommended me to do. He had himself ascended this mountain, and said it was a nice day-trip that is feasible to realize. He explained to me how to get there, and where to park the car; and before leaving home, I even consulted some tour descriptions here on Peakbook. I drove to a fjord called Tresfjorden, in Vestnes Municipality, and then continued up a valley called Rypdalen. In the upper part of Rypdalen Valley, you have to pay a fee in order to continue. Now, the easiest way to pay that fee is to use the Swish app, though there was also a mailbox in which you could drop an envelope with money inside. Once you've payed the fee, you can continue upwards along a steep and narrow graveled road that takes you all the way up to a parking lot >>>
