Helldalssåta
Started by taking the bus to Helldalssåta (the street has the same name as the peak, indicating how short the hike would be). The start of the trail was easy to locate and after just a few minutes I arrived at the summit. For being such an easily accessible summit, and only 250 meters above sea level, the views were surprisingly good in all directions. Well worth a visit.
From the summit I followed the trail southwest along the ridge to quickly arrive at the trig marker next to Storesåta, which also provided excellent views towards the west. The distance from Helldalssåta to Storesåta was less than one kilometer, so I'd definitely recommend including a visit if at Helldalssåta. Instead of going all the way back to Helldalssåta I rather located a shortcut down to Sanddalsringen, where a trail was indicated on the map, for the bus back to the city center.
All in all, a short but very nice hike, with surprisingly good views.
