Trip Summary

Winter hike from Eidsvåg (the bus stop along Åsaneveien) in the north of Bergen via Orretua, Kvitebjørnen, and Rundemanen, to Bergen. From the bus stop, we followed first Munkebotn up to Langevatnet, where we crossed the stream towards the other, eastern side, where the somewhat steep ascent to Orretua starts. Following the ridge into the direction of Rundemanen, we came by Dræggehytten from where we continued up to Kvitebjørnen. From Kvitebjørnen, we crossed Lavet and came by Kåken before arriving at Rundemanen. From there, we descended to Bergen, passing by Brushytten. Instead of walking down one of the main routes to Bergen, however, we descended via Fløyvarden and over the ridge down to Mulen. While mostly without any problems, this descent along the northwestern ridge from Fløyvarden is in at least one place quite steep.
