Fivlenosi from Vigdalstøl via Vårstølen p-plass

Dato:
09.08.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:05t
Distanse:
12,7km

After a second night at Vigdalstøl , we left the cabin and returned to the parking lot at Vårstølen along the marked trail. Here we left most of our stuff in the car before following a marked trail to Fivla . After failing to locate any trails, except from animal tracks, heading from Fivla towards Fivlenosi , me and my niece continued on our own in a more or less a straight line for the summit, only making slight detours to avoid the steepest areas. In the end the summit was reached without any difficulties, and we could enjoy the excellent views in all directions, perhaps especially east towards Hurrungane . In the far distance we could also spot Hafslovatnet and Sogndalsfjorden. After a short lunch break we returned along the same route to the parking lot, where the rest of the family members were already ready to start the drive back to Sogndal. To conclude, >>>

Storhaug from Vigdalstøl

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:50t
Distanse:
3,9km

After an extended lunch break at Vigdalstøl we were ready for the second hike of the day, this time with everybody joining and heading for the smaller hill in between Vigdalstøl and Fivlenosi called Storhaug . We initially followed the marked trail from Vigdalstøl via Breidsete towards Fivla and Kilen in Dalsdalen. However as the trail passed around 150 meter northwest of the summit, we had to leave the nice trail and instead make our own way towards the summit through the semi-dense undergrowth. This did not provide any real challenges though and we soon connected with a weaker trail along the main ridge, which also did not head all the way to the summit. The summit was finally reached after another 10-15 meters off-trail but it sadly provided close to no views and if it had not been for the 115 meter vertical separation >>>

Kattøyro from Vigdalstøl

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:34t
Distanse:
9,3km

After spending the night at Vigdalstøl , me and my sister first followed the marked trail to Drivande , from where we followed a weaker trail marked with small cairns towards Kattøyro . At first the trail was relatively easy to follow, the trailhead was even marked with a sign, but later it pretty much disappeared and we had to find our own way towards the summit. The terrain did not present any real challenges though and the large cairn with a visitor register was easily reached. Excellent views from the summit, although the views were a bit limited by the gray weather, especially in the direction of Hurrungane . For the descent we followed more or less the same route, the only difference being that the nice weather we had enjoyed for most of the ascent soon was replaced by rain and low-hanging clouds. Overall a very nice hike that >>>

Short hike along the marked trail from the parking lot at Vårstølen to Vigdalstøl to spend the weekend there with my sister and her family, where we also took advantage of the four extra beds in Li-Hans-Fjøsen located less than 20 meters west of the main cabin.

A short stop in Sogndal on the way to Vigdalstøl . (Note that the road this hike follows is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.)

Distanse:

After leaving my bike by the side of the road (see the separate cycling trip report ), I started up what was initially a weak tractor road which soon turned into a rather wet trail. The trail quality however greatly improved as the trail started to climb up to the small valley south of the summit. From there the trail was less clear, but it was instead marked by small cairns, and at this point the large cairn at the summit could be spotted anyway and the direction was obvious. The summit provided excellent views in all directions and was today occupied by several families with lots of kids. I still managed to get a couple of nice pictures before having a second short lunch break and then returning along the same route to the main road. However, if I did not have to return to my bike, I would probably instead have tried >>>

Skjønhammaren

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:34t
Distanse:
0,9km

After finally deciding to leave my bike at the crossroads about 200 meters southwest of the summit, I continued on foot along a very wet trail, made slightly less wet by several wide wooden planks, some of them half submerged in water. The trail quality however greatly improved as the trail turned north for the summit. Here there was even a sign for Skjønhammaren . (A hidden sign at the earlier crossroads had only shown "Natursti", i.e. nature trail.) The summit (at 112.66 meters above sea level as the sign at the summit indicated) was quickly reached and provided excellent views to the south, while the views to the north were blocked by trees. After a short lunch break, I briefly followed the trail north, from where I could spot Kattnakken in the distance, although the northern views were still pretty limited from here >>>
