Olav Nygards bu and Nåmdalsfjellet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
8,6km

Given the near perfect weather, I took one day of "vinterferie" to go skiing. I convinced my dad to join and together we drove to Modalen and Øvre Helland. Here we left the paved road and continued along a good-quality gravel road up to Steinavatnet p-plass . After a very short climb of only a couple of meters, and less than 150 meters of skiing, we arrived at the ice-covered Steinavatnet, which provided very easy access to Olav Nygards bu . We then turned west and headed for the ridge to Nåmdalsfjellet . Lots of traces of earlier skiers, however there did not seem to be a fixed summit route. The direction was in any case obvious and there were no steep areas to avoid. It therefore did not take long before we arrived at the summit where we could enjoy the views to the surrounding mountains. After spending the whole trip in the warm >>>

Five summits west of Vinningsleitet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
9:28t
Distanse:
24,3km

When Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) suggested a skiing trip to the five summits east of Vinningsleitet, I of course quickly said yes. (Bonus tip: see this external trip report for a similar skiing trip.) He picked me up early Saturday morning for the drive to Vinningsleitet. We arrived at the small parking lot around 10:00 and were ready to start skiing shortly after. First up was Nonhaugen , which was easily accessed by ascending directly from the parking lot, except for a short descent into the valley between Nonhaugen and Ørnahaugen , and it did not take long before we were standing at the summit. Throughout the trip there would be a strong and cold wind from north/northeast. It was however mainly coming at us from the side and overall did not present much of an issue. The snow conditions were on the other hand more heavily affected, thus the condition varied greatly, from packed >>>

Lilandshaugen

Turlengde:
0:39t
Distanse:
2,6km

My initial plan for the Saturday afternoon had been to travel to Eikelandsosen for a visit of Vetlavardhytto , but due to the recently "improved" bus connection between Bergen and Gjermundshamn (where the earlier direct bus line had been replaced by a three (or thirty-three) minutes transfer at Osøyro), I ended up missing the bus from Osøyro to Eikelandsosen by less than two minutes and quickly had to come up with a plan B. Two minutes later I was therefore on the first bus back to Lagunen. Here I switched to the tram to Flesland and after this long detour I was finally ready for the short walk to the top of Lilandshaugen . Interestingly, Lilandshaugen has to be the Bergen summit with the largest sign, i.e. the infamous "BERGEN?" sign welcoming visitors as they exit the main terminal at Flesland. >>>

Nordskogfjellet and Golfståvo

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:51t
Distanse:
16,8km

For the second Sunday in a row I returned to Sveio, this time to ascend Nordskogfjellet with an added bonus of also visiting Golfståvo . I started by taking the express bus from Bergen and getting off at the stop "Sveio gravplass". From there I followed the roads north to Nordskog and Skardhaugtjørna where I left the paved road and headed off-trail in the direction of the summit. More traffic than expected for a Sunday morning (or rather mid-day I guess), but even though there were no sidewalks this was generally not an issue. Less than 100m after leaving the road, I came across a rough tractor road that led me up to the trig marker at the unnamed hill around 650m south of the highest point at Nordskogfjellet. Excellent views from this location (now added as its own PB-element). Next, I turned north and made my own way towards the highest >>>

Bergen Travpark and Gjesthaugen

Dato:

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:52t
Distanse:
3,9km

Short hike on a gray Saturday where the main goal was to visit yet another minor summit on the Alle topper i Bergen list, namely Gjesthaugen . While in the area I also took the opportunity to pass by both Bergen Camping Park and Bergen Travpark. The summit of Gjesthaugen was easy to reach via a narrow trail from the southeast, although the trail was a bit weak at times (indicated by my unplanned use of an alternative trail for part of the descent) and one definitely had to pay attention in order to not miss the unmarked trailhead. After descending from Gjesthaugen, I concluded the hike by following the paved hiking path to Breistein, from where I took the bus back home.
