Gråsida from Nygard

Dato:
18.05.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
6:25t
Distanse:
10,6km

A return to Modalen to ascend Gråsida . We found parking next to the bridge separating Midvatnet and Åbotnsvatnet, and from there walked the short distance along the road to the marked trailhead for Gråsida and Vardadalsbu . The start of the trail itself was however a bit unclear but we soon found the red T's and from there on it was relatively straightforward to follow the marked trail almost all the way to the summit. As expected there were a couple of steep sections on the way but overall the trail did a great job at winding its way upwards. It is worth noting that the marked trail deviated quite a lot from the trail outlined on the map though. South of Rusta we had to cross a stream to continue on the marked trail on the other side. In order to avoid getting our shoes wet we made a minor detour before reconnecting >>>

Oksen from Granvin

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
8:04t
Distanse:
22,9km

Given that my only meeting on a sunny Friday had been postponed earlier in the week, I took the rest of the urgent paperwork with me and hopped on a train to Voss from where I took the bus to Granvin to ascend Oksen . After getting off the bus, I walked to the marked trailhead at Røynstrand and then followed the marked trail northwest towards the summit with the first patches of snow appearing just below 900 meters above sea level. Shortly before getting to Oksatjørni I lost the red markers and given that I did not like the look of the terrain where the trail was supposedly heading, both steep and snow-covered, I made a short detour east to connect with the trail coming down from Ingebjørgfjellet , before both trails combined northeast of Larsbu. The final ascent to the summit was straightforward but quite strenuous >>>

Samlen from Herand

Dato:
04.05.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
6:36t
Distanse:
15,5km

Started by taking an early bus from Bergen to Norheimsund to catch the express boat at 09:00. While the boat continued all the way to Eidfjord, I got off at the first stop and was finally ready to begin my ascent of Samlen from Herand shortly before 09:30. To get to the trailhead east of the summit, I followed the paved road northeastward for roughly an hour. At the trailhead I was welcomed by a message that the trail to Samlen had gotten a new starting point in relation to Hardangertrappa (a new route including stone steps that is in the process of being completed). Hoping that the sign did not indicate that the older trail was no longer usable, I continued my ascent, and while the trail was a bit steep and rough at times, it was overall straightforward to follow. In any case, it did not take very long before the two trails connected, >>>

Manen from Pallane

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:17t
Distanse:
7,4km

When my plans to spend the first of May skiing at Finse had to be postponed due to bad weather, I instead left work early the day before for a trip to Kvinnherad with Petter . We drove south from Bergen and made the 16:10-ferry from Gjermundshamn with plenty of time to spare. After crossing the fjord we drove the short distance south to the start of Uskedalen where we parked next to the marked trailhead at Pallane in Eikevegen and were ready to start our hike to Manen shortly after five. We began by following a tractor road up to the start of the marked trail. The trail was however at first rather weak and we quickly lost it. But after a couple of minutes we found it again and from there on it was straightforward to follow it all the way to the summit. Note however that the trail seems to end at a large cairn that is not at the highest point. The summit >>>

Hillesdalsfjell and Håfjell

Turtype:

Turlengde:
5:27t
Distanse:
14,6km

Kjell picked me up at 06:50 for the short drive to meet up with Petter and from his place we all continued in Petter's car to Gjermundshamn for the 09:00-ferry to Årsnes. After crossing the fjord, we drove south via Rosendal to Matre and Matersdalen where we found parking next to the road and were finally ready to start hiking shortly after 10:00. From the car we briefly descended back down the paved road before ascending south along a tractor road up to Vadtjørnane. Here we aimed for Hillesdalsfjell and pretty much followed a straight line towards the summit. We did spot one or two red trail markers on the way, but these were quite faint and of the trail itself we did not really see much evidence. Hence the route has to be described as off-trail but still straightforward and without any real challenges. After a couple >>>

Tjellflotåsen from Skånevik

Dato:
30.03.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:26t
Distanse:
5,6km

Initially, I had planned to go skiing this Sunday, but after spending all of the Saturday hiking with Petter in Kvinnherad , I decided to rather take it easy and instead went for a boat trip to Skånevik for a short hike to Tjellflotåsen . Roughly three hours after embarking on the high-speed passenger ferry in Bergen, and after a quick transfer to similar boat in Leirvik, I arrived in sunny Skånevik ready to start my hike. I started by walking northeast along Skånevikvegen before later leaving the main road and turning southwest on the smaller road to Ytre Nes. After about 300 meters on this road I arrived at the marked trailhead for Tjellflotåsen. From there, the trail was marked all the way to the summit, however there should have been one additional marker early on when the tractor road split. Here the trail continues straight ahead >>>
