Torstadnakken

Dato:
30.03.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
6:27t
Distanse:
19,8km

Given that the recent attempt to reach Torstadnakken had to be abandoned due to bad weather it was time for another try. This time with perfect skiing conditions: blue skies and close to no wind. (The only exception being the first stretch up from Svedal where there was more ice than snow. This did improve somewhat for the return though.) We followed the standard route from Svedal up to Grøssete , where the views were much better than last time, and after a quick lunch we continued along the tracks of previous skiers towards Torstadnakken , enjoying the excellent views in all directions. After visiting all of the three cairns at Torstadnakken, we quickly removed the climbing skins and started our descent, deciding to delay our break as it was now getting rather cold at the summit area. There would be more than enough continuous downhill skiing before >>>

Kambafjellet and Blåfjellet

Dato:
28.03.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
2:32t
Distanse:
12,1km

Started by taking the ski lift from Rindabotn and from the top followed the tracks of previous skiers across Kambafjellet towards Blåfjellet . Upon reaching the large cairn at Blåfjellet I continued east towards the real slightly taller summit. No tracks to follow here. After removing the climbing skins I made my own way down to the Red Cross cabin (called Britabu) located right next to Britastein, before following the standard skiing trail back down to Rindabotn. Overall an excellent trip that can be highly recommended!

Followed the standard skiing trail from Rindabotn around Fjærlandssetvatnet. The only detour was an attempt to reach Dyrhovden , which in the end had to be abandoned due to not having enough time to find a safe ascent to the summit.

Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
3:55t
Distanse:
6,2km

Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association where the goal was to reach Torstadnakken . But due to low-hanging clouds and very poor visibility the trip had to be cut short at Grøssete . Still an enjoyable trip despite the bad weather conditions though.

Sverresborg and Fjellveien

Dato:
18.03.2018
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:22t
Distanse:
12,5km

After yesterday's long skiing trip across Vidden I decided on a shorter hike below the snow and ice today. Started from Bontelabo and visited Sverresborg before walking up to Fjellveien, which I then followed southeast and returning via Skansemyren. On the way home I also passed by Hellen festning.

Across Vidden via Grøvlevatnet and Hauggjelsvarden

Dato:
17.03.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
6:43t
Distanse:
24,2km

Started by taking the bus to Haukeland sykehus and following the standard route towards Ulriken . More complicated than expected as the gravel road was covered with ice (a theme that would return at the end of the hike...). It improved slightly when I left the main trail for Ulriken, put on the skis, and headed south to Grøvlevatnet, but also here there were stretches with more ice than proper snow. The original plan had been to follow the summer trail to Turnerhytten , but it seemed like the preferred winter route is a bit further to the east, so I opted for this instead. There were plenty of traces of skiers, but this morning I only met one other skier until I got close to Hauggjelsvarden , but then there were plenty. The route itself was quite nice, with excellent views towards Gullfjellet . I should have brought my full-length climbing >>>

Stolåsen

Dato:
14.03.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:16t
Distanse:
8,3km

Started by taking the bus to Førde (bus stop Førdespollen) and walking northwest along the road until reaching the tractor road to Langavatnet. I was happy to see footprints in the snow, hoping that these would continue all the way to the summit of Stolåsen . Shortly after leaving the paved road I spotted the first deer, of which there would be numerous traces in the form of hoofprints throughout the hike. In fact they were soon more common that footprints. At the crossroads with the first signs for Stolåsen there was only one set of footprints coming from the planned direction. I still decided to turn left (west) at the sign and thus ascend Stolåsen from the south. Less than a minute later I heard, and later saw, the second (and maybe a third?) deer, and with 2-3 deer spotted in less than half an >>>
