Hauggjelsvarden from Sædalen via Erdalsvarden

Dato:
14.02.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:33t
Distanse:
11,8km

Saturday hike in fresh snow exploring a new route to Hauggjelsvarden via Erdalsvarden . The trailhead from Helldalslia was marked however the trail itself was not always easy to follow, largely due to the snow but also due to lots of fallen trees partially blocking the way. How closely I later followed the trail towards Erdalsvarden I'm not sure but I think I did pretty good. From Erdalsvarden I headed off-trail towards Valhal and then continued to Byfjellenes høyeste punkt and Hauggjelsvarden, before circling back to Turnerhytten and descending via a (for me) new route passing by Gimle . During the descent, I made a quick visit of Krossen where I was able to follow a trail almost to the highest point that also continued to the gravel road to the south. The hike was finally concluded with a light jog down the gravel road in order to return to Sædalen in time for the bus back >>>

Orrtua and Storerinden

Dato:
11.02.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:38t
Distanse:
4,1km

I left work early for a short hike from Bontveit to Hausdalen to visit two minor peaks on the Alle topper i Bergen list . First up was Orrtua which to my surprise could be very easily ascended via a tractor road/trail (not shown on the map) that took me almost all the way to the summit. The highest point even had much better views than expected. Getting from Orrtua to Storerinden also provided fewer challenges than feared and I even came across an old trail shortly before arriving at the gravel road north of Storerinden. From there it was straightforward to reach the summit via various deer tracks. Limited views from the summit itself, but better views to the northeast just north of the highest point. The hike was completed by returning to the gravel road and heading southwest along the main road before getting on the bus.

Sunday hike along a trail I discovered during last weekend's hike from Flaktveit to Selvik . Overall a positive experience with great views along the way.

Botnahaugen, Ørnahaugen and Straumsfjellet

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:20t
Distanse:
7,4km

Short Saturday hike in light snow and rain exploring the area on the eastern side of Mathopsvågen. Overall a nice hike along decent trails with great views, although the off-trail ascent of Botnahaugen can be skipped without missing anything. Ørnahaugen was on the other hand a positive surprise.

Oppstemten and Landåseggen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:11t
Distanse:
6,2km

Short hike after work to catch the sunset at Ulriken. Lots of ice that made snow chains mandatory, especially for the final section of Oppstemten and for most of the following descent along Landåseggen, which most likely explains the unusually low number of other hikers on this sunny afternoon.

Flaktveit to Selvik via Nukane

Dato:
01.02.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:07t
Distanse:
6,3km

A return to Flaktveit to try an alternative route to Nukane followed by a (for me) new descent to Selvik. All in all a nice short hike along unmarked but still overall easy to follow trails. The only challenge being the occasional ice that could thankfully easily be avoided. See also my earlier hike to Storsåta .

Nipetjørna, Gravdalsfjellet and Olsokfjellet

Fjelltur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
7,0km

After an extended period of cold weather I decided to use the Saturday to visit the ruins of the cabin Dovre , located on a small island in Nipetjørna. Given that I would basically be passing by Endre 's apartment on way, I invited him to come along. As expected, there was a thick white ice covering the lake and we could therefore easily walk across to the island. Of the cabin there were only limited traces after it apparently burned down in 1977. With the main objective out of the way we continued via Gravdalsfjellet , Damsgårdsfjellet and Olsokfjellet before returning to Vestlundveien. Just as we were about to part ways, I noticed the small hill St. Hanshaugen which looked like it ought to be included on the Alle topper i Bergen list and at the summit we even found a small trig bolt. Takk for turen, Endre!

Stovegolvet from Grov

Dato:
24.01.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:02t
Distanse:
17,8km

Warning: This hike includes a steep ascent that can potentially be dangerous under certain winter conditions. Read the report carefully. A return to Stord to ascend Stovegolvet and visit the DNT cabin with the same name . After taking the bus (and ferry) to Stord I had planned to get off at Grov, however the bus driver failed to notice that I had pressed the stop button and I ended up with an extra kilometer warm up along Grovavegen before arriving at my intended starting point. I began by following the same route southwest to Lundsetervegen as for my trip to Steingilshøgda, Klovfjellet and Budalsfjellet and continued along the paved road to the large parking lot at Lundseter where I easily located the marked trailhead. From the trailhead I followed the marked trail northwest before turning east and beginning the steep ascent towards the summit. It quickly became apparent that this part of the ascent would be much more challenging >>>

Hovåsene from Fortunbakkane

Turtype:

Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,3km

Short hike on a gray and foggy Sunday with the objective of visiting Hovåsen and Hovåsen Sør , two recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list . I used a similar route as for last year’s visit of Nordre Gamletjørnhaugen , although in the opposite order. After following the marked trail via Nordre Gamletjørnhaugen , I left it shortly after Lillianbrekko and headed off-trail via various deer tracks to the summits of Hovåsen Sør and Hovåsen. At Hovåsen Sør there was a trig bolt and a view down to Kismul Skyte- og friluftssenter (closed on Sundays, except for special events, according to their web page). There may also be ok views from Hovåsen but these were all hidden by the fog. The easiest choice would now probably have been to return to the trail but given the short distance to the road to the north, I decided to head directly in that direction. This did not present any real challenges but was also the least enjoyable part >>>

Grønafjellet, Folldalshaugane and Linken

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
10,8km

A return to Folldalshaugane and Linken/Lyseskarfjellet with the objective of also visiting Grønafjellet . Started from the bus stop "Rød sør" and at first followed the same route as for my visit of Rødsaksla . Ended up following this route for a too long though and had to backtrack. In my defense the trails were covered by both snow and ice, however towards Grønafjellet there was a single set of footprints leading the way. I was surprised to be able to follow a trail marked with small cairns for the final section to the larger summit cairn at Grønafjellet. Excellent views from the highest point and well worth a visit. After returning to the trail, or rather the footprints, I followed it/them east to connect with the main trail which I then followed via Folldalshaugane to Linken. The descent to the main road contained lots of ice and would have been >>>
