Across Vidden

Dato:
27.02.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
5:23t
Distanse:
21,4km

Very nice winter weather in downtown Bergen, but as Ulriksbanen approached the upper station we started to see (and feel) the strong winds. (Some fellow skiers even decided to take the cable car back down again.) Luckily we could prepare the skis inside before exiting into the very strong southeastern winds. However, besides the strong winds the conditions were close to perfect, and in the small pockets where we could stay out of the wind it was easy to forget the cold wind and enjoy the views. We followed the standard winter route across Vidden, and after turning north, and later northwest, the wind was no longer a major factor. After a short lunch break in Hyttelien, we continued to Rundemanen and from there followed Blåmansveien on the way down to Brushytten . At Rundemanen the strong winds could again be felt, but as >>>

Gullfjelltoppen and Kofta

Dato:
25.02.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
7:12t
Distanse:
22,1km

Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association . We started from the parking lot at Osavatnet on a beautiful and sunny winter day and followed the winter route up Tjørndalen towards Gullfjelltoppen . As we got close to Gullfjellhalsen a relatively dense fog started to appear, however after a short lunch break it cleared enough to continue to Gullfjelltoppen where the views were only partially limited by the fog. But soon after leaving Gullfjelltoppen the fog reappeared, now even denser than before, and both maps and GPS had to be heavily conferred in order to find the route towards Kofta . In the end we did arrive at the summit of Kofta, although the fog resulted in extremely limited views. We therefore did not stay long and quickly returned the same way. The initial plan had been to also visit Søre Gullfjelltoppen and Sydpolen , but this was rejected due to the dense fog, and we instead >>>

Turlengde:
1:53t

Short skiing trip with coworkers from the upper station of Fløibanen to Aasebu and back. Note that one my coworkers had never skied before, which should be kept in mind when looking at the time spent. ;)

Bruviknipa: From Båtaleitet to Njåstad

Dato:
04.02.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
6:02t
Distanse:
16,0km

Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association . Bus from Bergen to Båtaleitet , from where we followed the winter route via Flatafjellet to the summit of Bruviknipa . After a long break at the summit, we retraced our steps (or should I say tracks) across Flatafjellet and from there continued north, including a shorter stop at Geitnipa on the way down to Njåstad, where the bus was waiting to take us back to Bergen. Excellent skiing conditions and beautiful weather made for a close to perfect skiing trip and provided spectacular views, especially from the summit of Bruviknipa. Highly recommended!

Såta, Kvamskogen

Dato:
14.01.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
3:23t
Distanse:
12,1km

First skiing trip of 2018. Started from the parking lot at Furedalen and followed the standard skiing route to Såta . Very strong winds at the summit so we did not stay long before starting our descent. First heading east and then south across Breiarusti on the way down to Furedalen. Not the best skiing conditions but overall a very nice trip.

Reppanipa

Dato:
15.04.2017
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
2:46t
Distanse:
10,2km

Started from the parking lot at Hodlekve and began by following the "lysløype" with some family members, before taking off on my own towards Kollsetestølen. I partly followed some old snow scooter tracks until reaching the cabins at the southern end of Reppanipa . From there I could not find any more tracks towards the summit, but it was fairly easy to find a safe route. After taking lots of pictures, as apparently the only visitor for some time, I followed pretty much the same route back to the parking lot under perfect skiing conditions!

Helleberget

Fjellskitur
Turlengde:

Started from the parking lot at Rindabotn and followed the marked trail towards Høgehaug, but before getting to Rysete we instead took the trail towards Fagreggi and ascended Helleberget from the south. Similar route back, but with a couple of shortcuts through the terrain.

Ustetind from Kikut

Dato:
28.03.2017
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
7:23t
Distanse:
28,4km

Eight degrees, sunny, almost no clouds, and close to no wind. Only the snow conditions could have been better, as for many sections of the trail we could see the ground through the snow, while for other parts the snow melting during the previous day had turned into ice overnight. Yet at other places we had to leave the trail completely for smaller detours to avoid larger wet areas. Luckily this greatly improved as the trip progressed. The first summit visited was Birgithovda , an easy to reach summit that is very close to the main winter trail. I had to remove my skis to reach the summit though, as all the snow had melted towards the summit. Even though this summit is relatively low compared to its surroundings, it still provided nice views as can be seen from the pictures. The trip quickly continued to >>>

Ruperanden from Kikut

Dato:
27.03.2017
Turtype:
Langrennstur
Turlengde:
1:38t
Distanse:
7,5km

Short skiing trip from Kikut to Ruperanden . The skiing conditions were poor at the start of the trip, where we had to look out for rocks sticking out of the snow in order to not damage our skis. But as soon as we hit the main skiing trail the conditions improved significantly. The wind started to pick up during the trip though. Tailwind on the way there and an even stronger head-wind on the way back towards Kikut.
