Dueskardhøgdi and Lingesetfjellet from Haukåsen
The small free parking lot at the start of the ski trail was full. Hence we had to park at the larger parking lot next to the airport. (Note that if installing an app it is apparently possible to get a discount on the parking fee when going hiking or skiing. We however did not notice this until it was too late. See the small poster when entering the parking lot for more details.)
From the parking lot we walked the short distance to the trailhead where we put on the skis and followed the snow-covered gravel road up to Lingesete. The road continued beyond Lingesete, but as we passed south of Lingesetfjellet it started to feel a lot more like backcountry skiing. There should be a trail all the way to the summit in the summer time though. The summit provided spectacular panoramic views and, with next to no wind, a very nice location for our lunch break. After enjoying the views, we returned along the same route, only adding a minor detour to the summit of Lingesetfjellet, again with great views. In summary, an excellent trip that can be very highly recommended!
