Visiting Mount Lauparen and Mount Grytavasstinden

Dato:
10.07.2016
Turtype:
Alpintur
Turlengde:
9:00t
Distanse:
19,5km

On this day I climbed up to the summits of Mount Lauparen and Mount Grytavasstinden. I started out from the parking lot at Grytalisetra (see map), and followed the regular trail for climbing these mountains for about 1,5 km, and then I took left towards the foot of Mount Sunnmørslauparen, which isn't actually a real mountain by itself, but rather a huge westward going ridge on Mount Lauparen. I climbed up the mountain side and at about 950 m.a.m.s.l., I reached a plateau on which a lake called Lake Lauparvatnet is located. From the Lake I continued up a huge mountain ridge to a new plateau, where you actually find the spot that is called Sunnmørslauparen [1254 m.a.m.s.l.] here on Peakbook. From there i continued up another mountain ridge towards the summit of Lauparen. This ridge got steeper >>>

Hiking to Mount Blåskjerdingen with my Sister

Dato:
02.07.2016
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:04t
Distanse:
9,8km

My sister is living in another part of our beautiful country, but whenever she's visiting our part of the country, she frequently asks me to take her on some mountain trip. Now, I don't dare to take her on the steepest and most challenging climbs, so when she asks me for that, I say to her, just as when we were kids: "No, you're too young...!" Nevertheless, I considered that she would do quite well with Mount Blåskjærdingen, so on this day we agreed to go there. Now, Mount Blåskjerdingen has two summits, with a characteristic V-shaped cleft in between them; and this actually makes it quite easy to spot the mountain even from afar. We parked our car at a parking lot in Vatnedalen Valley (see map). Her on Peakbook this parking lot has actually been named after the mountain, i.e. you'll >>>

Evening Hike Up the Northwest Ridge of Mount Ulriken

Dato:
20.06.2016
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:44t
Distanse:
9,8km

On this longest day of the year, I made this combined run and hike in the city of Bergen, Norway. I started out by running along Lake Alrekstadvatnet [commonly referred to as Svartediket, i.e. "The Black Dike"] in Ulriksdalen Valley. At the end of the valley I circumscribed the east end of the lake, passing the valleys of Våkendalen, Hardbakkedalen and Isdalen; and then came to the foot of the mountain ridge called Ulrikseggen. [The proper translation of "Ulrikseggen" is "The Mount Ulriken mountain ridge", though the Norwegian word "egg" in Ulrikseggen actually corresponds to the English word "edge"]. At the foot of The Mount Ulrik Ridge, there's some dense birch forrest, and there where multiple trails in the forrest, hence a little bit difficult >>>

Hiking to Mount Trolltind from Tomresetra with my Son Dag

Dato:
18.06.2016
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:34t
Distanse:
10,4km

Mountain hiking to Brustind (1170 m.a.m.s.l.) with my son Dag on this day. We chose a different outset from what I did when I climbed this mountain on November 1st last year, allowing us to climb even the mountain Middagsfjellet on our way up. The literal meaning of the name "Middagsfjellet" is the "Mid-Day Mountain" or the "Noon Mountain", a name probably applied to the mountain because of its location just south of the village Tomra by the fjord Tomrefjord. At 12 o'clock the sun would be standing just above this particular mountain (for an observer in Tomrefjord); hence the inhabitants in Tomra used the mountain to mark out the time for noon back in the old days when common people didn't go around wearing watches. This hike isn't too steep. The first part goes >>>

Combined run and hike the "rear way" up to Mount Ulriken

Dato:
16.06.2016
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:24t
Distanse:
12,0km

On this day I had a combined workout, i.e. I run along the road called Tarlebøveien in the Ulriksdalen Valley , and then hiked up a valley called Isdalen. Where the valley called Ulriksdalen ends, it actually divides into three separate valleys, that are called (from west to east) Våkendalen, Hardbakkedalen, and Isdalen ["dal" is the Norwegian word for "valley"]. In its upper part, Isdalen Valley is called Smalisdalen , as it narrows in a bit up there. So, I hiked up Isdalen and Smalisdalen up to the mountain plateau of which Mount Ulriken is a part. From the entrance to the plateau I ran alongside the southeast side of Mount Ulriken, and then followed a commonly used trail back down to the districts of Montana and Lægdene, where I'm renting an apartment in Bergen.

Til Ytsetind fra Flate

Dato:
11.06.2016
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:55t
Distanse:
12,5km

I 2015 besøkte jeg både Remmemstinden og Trolltinden i Vestnes kommune, men Ytstetinden hadde jeg enda ikke vært på, og dit hadde jeg lyst å gå. Denne lørdagen dro vi derfor avsted, jeg og eldste sønnen vår. Vi kjørte via Fiksdal og Tomrefjorden til Flatebygda, og fant fram til en parkeringsplass vi også tidligere hadde benyttet. Det var 20,- kroner å betale i bompenger for å komme opp til parkeringsplassen, og derfra la vi i vei oppover grusveien til Flateseter. Oppe ved Flatesetra er stien videre til Remmemstinden og Ytstetinden godt skiltet; dårligere med skilting er det når man kommer ut av skogen og opp på snaufjellet. Ytstetind er forbundet med fjellet Båten med en rygg som kalles Båtreset . Vi siktet oss inn på foten av Ytstetind akkurat der fjellet går over i Båtreset. >>>

Hiking to Mount Skjerdingen and Two Beautiful Lakes

Dato:
28.05.2016
Turtype:
Alpintur
Turlengde:
5:13t
Distanse:
13,6km

On this occasion, my son Dag and I went hiking to the mountain Blåskjerdingen . This mountain has a deep cleft that runs right through the top of the it; giving it two separate summits and a quite characteristic appearance that makes it easy to spot, even from a pretty long distance. We parked our car in a nearby valley called Nakkedalen, and made our climb to the first summit of Blåskjerdingen, which has an altitude of 1061 m.a.m.s.l. From there you look straight across the deep cleft onto the other summit, not even 50 meters away from you, and with an elevation of 1069 m.a.m.s.l. [Note: The names Skjerdingen and Blåskjerdingen are used interchangeably by many, but the local population in the villages at the foot of the mountain tend to refer to the higher (northern) summit as Blåskjerdingen, >>>

Til Hellandshornet

Dato:
21.05.2016
Turlengde:
5:04t
Distanse:
7,0km

Det var strålende sol med litt spredte skyer den dagen vi la ut på denne turen; jeg, min eldste sønn dag, og en gammel klassekamerat av ham. Turen går bratt oppover allerede fra starten. Vi hadde kjørt til Hellandshamn, og satt bilen på en parkeringsplass ved Rundevika, parkeringsplassen ligger litt inn til høyre etter at man har rundet neset mellom Samfjorden og "Moldeleia". Spesielt bratt går turen fra ca. 100 høydemeter og opp til ca. 250 høydemeter. Stien går imidlertid gjennom tett skog dette stykket, så der er rikelig med trær å holde seg i, hvilket kan være kjekt spesielt på vei ned igjen. Fra ca. 250 m.o.h. flater det noe ut, ikke som et plateau, men etter klatringen vi har lagt bak oss, føles det litt sånn, og vi kan speede opp tempoet en liten smule. Stien >>>

Hiking to Mount Tverrbotshornet with my son Dag

Dato:
07.05.2016
Turtype:
Alpintur
Turlengde:
3:18t
Distanse:
9,6km

Hiking to the top of the mount Tverrbotshornet along with my son Dag. We drove to Søvika in Haram municipality, and parked at a parking lot in the valley called Søvikdalen. It's the same parking lot we've been using when visiting Mount Gamlemsveten. The first 1.5 km is the same as when you ascend Gamlemsveten, but then we took off to the right from the Road that climbs Gamlemsveten, crossed a marsh; and then started climbing up along a mountain ridge that leads up to the summit of the mountain. The ridge is quite stony, but otherwise not difficult to climb. The elevation of this mountain is 752 meters above main sea level, and we soon reached the summit. From there we continued about 400 meters in a north east direction, and then made our descent from the mountain in a north west direction >>>

With my daughter Vår to the summit of Mount Storhornet

Dato:
30.04.2016
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
0:57t
Distanse:
3,3km

I had a combined hike and run to Mount Storhornet with my daughter Vår vaarsolholm (Vår Solholm) on this day. We wanted to see how quickly we could get up there (from the parking lot at Hestvika - i.e. The Horse's Bay). We walked quickly up to the plateau where Lake Alnesvatnet is located, then run east along the edge of the plateau, before we continued with quick walking up the mountain ridge towards Storhornet, with a final short run even at the little summit "plateau". As we were pushing on all the way up, I actually also used my Endomondo App as a stop-watch; which is why I only tracked the climb up, and not the descent back down from the mountain on this occasion. For a more thorough trail description, and for a more proper GPS tracking, see my tour description from March 26th 2016, when I climbed the >>>
