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

Turtype:

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

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 >>>

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

Turtype:

Turlengde:

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:

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 >>>

Hiking to Mount Honndalsrokken with My Oldest Son

Distanse:
18,6km

On this day my son Dag asked me to join him for a hike to Mount Honndalsrokken . This mountain is widely known in our part of Norway, as its characteristic spikelike shape may be spotted from afar. The name of the mountain is actually also derived from its shape: The spikelike summit of the mountain looks a bit like the spindle of a traditional spinning wheel, and rokk is the Norwegian word for such a spinning wheel. [Officially, the mountain is actually called Hornindalsrokken, but most locals refer to it as Honndalsrokken]. I have for several years been thinking of hiking this mountain, and so I immediately agreed to his suggestion, and went with him. We parked our car in the parking lot just by Honndøla Bru, i.e. the bridge across Honndøla River (see image ##1 and 26), and from there we >>>

Hiking the Entire Length of Isterdalstindane Mountain Range.

26,5km

In the Rauma Municipality in Norway, there are three exciting mountains called the Bishop, the King and the Queen [in Norwegian Bispen, Kongen and Dronninga]. I don’t think they have been named after the pieces of the chessboard, because in Norwegian the Bishop of the chess game is called the runner [Norw.: Løperen]. Anyway, these three mountains are the first three mountains of a mountain range stretching from the site of the famous Trollstigen Escarpment Road to the little town of Åndalsnes, which is located by the shores of the fjord called Romsdalsfjorden, and yet is surrounded by amazing mountains on all sides. Now, being inspired by some ladies that had climbed The Bishop, The King, and The Queen in one single row, and in one single day; I had been planning for some time to do a similar >>>

Hiking to Lake Svartbotsvatnet and Mount Svartbotstinden

There's a mountain range close to the town of Åndalsnes in Rauma municipality in the county of Møre & Romsdal in Norway, that has three mountains that are called Bispen [i.e. "The Bishop"], Kongen ["The King"] and Dronninga ["The Queen"] respectively. The mountain range actually has about 8 mountains interconnected by mountain ridges (depending a little on how you count them), and the three mentioned mountains are just the southernmost three of the 8 mountains of the range. Another one is Mount Svatbotstinden, which I visited on this particular day. I have for some years been planning to hike the southernmost 4 of the 8 mountains of this mountain range; starting out from Trollstigen Tourist Center (Image #3), and ending up on the shores of the fjord called >>>

Reconnaissance Hike to Mount Nordre Trolltind

Dato:
15.08.2020
Turtype:
Alpintur

Distanse:
12,8km

I've read somewhere here on Peakbook, about various groups of people that have climbed from Mount Nordre Trolltind [i.e. Northern Troll Peak] up to Mount Store Trolltind [i.e. Greater Troll Peak]. The two peaks are interconnected with a very steep ridge, and all those that have done the climb; or at least all those that I have read about, have used advanced climbing gear including ropes. I would indeed like to do that climb as part of a climbing team at some time in the future, and so on this day I decided to climb Mount Nordre Trolltind just as a reconnaissance climb/hike; in order to learn more about the two mountains. I did not bring any climbing gear with me on this trip, however, as I wasn't going to climb beyond Mount Nordre Trolltind; but I had with me a pair of binoculars, so as to >>>
