After our trip to Kyrkjehovda, me and Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) drove to Fossåskaret where we passed through a gate and found parking on a small open area next to two stacks of firewood. There was even an information sign for hikers from which the trail was marked all the way to the summit of Vardegga. We started southeast, first on a steep tractor road before later leaving the road behind and continuing on a trail marked with red paint.

The summit was therefore reached without any issues, except for the pouring rain making it increasingly difficult to take pictures (hence the blurry picture of Endre at the summit). On the other hand, there was not much reason to take pictures anyway as the most likely excellent views were today well-hidden behind a thick layer of fog. We therefore did not stay long before retracing our steps back to the car, only making a quick stop to explore a small cave right next to the road above Fossåskaret.

Overall, this is probably a very nice short hike in better weather, with most likely excellent views from the summit. I cannot comment much on the latter though…
