Skiing at Fløyen

Dato:
21.01.2019
Turtype:
Langrennstur
Turlengde:
2:53t
Distanse:
14,5km

The first skiing trip of 2019! Started from the upper station of Fløibanen and spent some time in "lysløypen" under excellent skiing conditions. I then turned on my head lamp and headed for Munkebotsvatnet, making it a bit below the smaller dam under Storevatnet, before deciding it would be safest to remove the skis and continue on foot. Probably a good decision as shortly after I spotted the first small rocks peeking out through the snow, and when getting closer to Munkebotsvatnet the snow was completely replaced by ice. I put the skis back on at Hellemyrstien though, but mainly due to being tired of carrying them, as the snow conditions there were far from optimal. But I did keep them on almost all the way to the top of Øyjordsveien without any major issues.

Short skiing trip at Vikafjellet on the way home to Bergen from Sogndal. Not the best skiing conditions, and plenty of areas without little or no snow (including the summit), but still quite enjoyable and a welcomed break from the driving.

Bakkanosi and Fetanipa

Dato:
14.04.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
7:07t
Distanse:
21,2km

Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association which started by taking the train to Voss and then a joint taxi to Jordalen. We followed the standard route to Bakkanosi , which started out a bit steep along a snow-covered tractor road before levelling off through Slettedalen and the final ascent towards the summit. The summit itself was quickly passed as we moved closer to the edge for better views. Although getting close the 1300 meters vertical drop down to Nærøyfjorden had to wait for later a summer visit, as the snow made it impossible to see where the firm ground ended, the views were still quite spectacular, but slightly reduced due to a light haze in the distance. After lunch, half of us made a detour to Fetanipa , where the views could not compare with Bakkanosi. Perhaps explaining why there have been so few registered visits on >>>

Distanse:
12,6km

Skiing at Fløyen after work. Started in nice sunny weather but ended with wet snow from above. Lots of new snow from the night before, but most of it had melted during the day, so not the best conditions for skiing, but still an enjoyable trip.

Torstadnakken

Dato:
30.03.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
6:27t
Distanse:
19,8km

Given that the recent attempt to reach Torstadnakken had to be abandoned due to bad weather it was time for another try. This time with perfect skiing conditions: blue skies and close to no wind. (The only exception being the first stretch up from Svedal where there was more ice than snow. This did improve somewhat for the return though.) We followed the standard route from Svedal up to Grøssete , where the views were much better than last time, and after a quick lunch we continued along the tracks of previous skiers towards Torstadnakken , enjoying the excellent views in all directions. After visiting all of the three cairns at Torstadnakken, we quickly removed the climbing skins and started our descent, deciding to delay our break as it was now getting rather cold at the summit area. There would be more than enough continuous downhill skiing before >>>

Kambafjellet and Blåfjellet

Dato:
28.03.2018
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
2:32t
Distanse:
12,1km

Started by taking the ski lift from Rindabotn and from the top followed the tracks of previous skiers across Kambafjellet towards Blåfjellet . Upon reaching the large cairn at Blåfjellet I continued east towards the real slightly taller summit. No tracks to follow here. After removing the climbing skins I made my own way down to the Red Cross cabin (called Britabu) located right next to Britastein, before following the standard skiing trail back down to Rindabotn. Overall an excellent trip that can be highly recommended!

Followed the standard skiing trail from Rindabotn around Fjærlandssetvatnet. The only detour was an attempt to reach Dyrhovden , which in the end had to be abandoned due to not having enough time to find a safe ascent to the summit.

Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
3:55t
Distanse:

Trip organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association where the goal was to reach Torstadnakken . But due to low-hanging clouds and very poor visibility the trip had to be cut short at Grøssete . Still an enjoyable trip despite the bad weather conditions though.
