Skiing trip organized by The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) , or more specifically Voss Utferdslag , with bus transportation from Voss to the parking lot in Brandset and later back to Voss from Ospehaugen p-plass . We started out in excellent sunny weather that was bordering on too warm, but as we ascended towards Vardafjellet the wind started to pick up, so much that we had to delay the lunch break. Initially we were going to pass just north of the summit of Vardafjellet, but after asking nicely, I was allowed to shortly leave the group for a short detour on my own to visit the summit. I quickly returned to the group and we descended to Prinsabotnskaret for a late lunch break in shelter of the strongest wind. Just as we got ready for the ascent to Bjørnafjellet , one of the participants lost her sit pad to the wind and we saw it tumbling over the ridge to the north and disappearing. After a visit of the summit of >>>

I started by taking the bus to Gjermundshamn where I ended up taking the bus one stop too far, but thankfully managed to get off before the bus drove onto the ferry. After returning to the crossroads a couple hundred meters to the southwest, I walked along the road to Ølve until reaching the marked trailhead for Blånuten . No sidewalks, but very limited traffic. I left the road/trail heading for Blånuten at the first crossroads and instead followed a tractor road taking me all the way to Hovdaberget and its spectacular views. Very easy to get to and highly recommended for its excellent views towards the many mountains across the fjord. Especially beautiful at this time of the year due to the snow-capped peaks. After a quick off-trail visit of the summit of Hjortlandshovda , a major let down after the views at Hovdaberget and >>>

Småbrekkebukken from Småbrekkene

For more than a year, Småbrekkebukken had been my last remaining summit on the Samnanger ≥ 100m pf. list . So when The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) , or more specifically Voss Utferdslag , organized a guided skiing trip, I was of course among the first to sign up. After taking the train to Voss, I joined the others at Holbergsplass, from where we carpooled to Småbrekkene to start the real trip. We initially followed the marked trail/road towards Gullhorgabu , but after a short break northeast of Småbrekkebukken, we had left the marked trail and instead continued up the valley northwest of the summit. Here we came across an area where most of the snow had been removed by strong winds, and we therefore had to backtrack a bit to find a slightly different route than planned. This however did not present any real issues and after a large U-turn to avoid the steepest areas we soon arrived at the summit, which >>>
