When the weather forecast finally indicated a single day of excellent hiking conditions, and with the rainstorms starting up again the day after, it did not take much convincing for two of my colleagues to take the day off and instead work during the rainy weekend.

We decided on Håvarden/Kvamsfjellet and pretty much followed in the footsteps of Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden), first finding parking next to the road at Elvika and then starting up a tractor road to the marked trailhead. The trail was not indicated on the map, but it was marked and overall easy to follow. Some ice towards the end, but little to no snow.

While my colleagues took a break at the large cairn called Håvarden, I made the short walk to the highest point of Kvamsfjellet on my own, around 200 meters further north. There was a marked trail here, but it did not head for the summit as far as I could tell. Nice views from both Håvarden and the smaller cairn at the highest point, probably even better on less cloudy days. After reconnecting with my colleagues, we followed the same route back to the car.

Overall, a nice short hike with excellent views that can be highly recommended.
