Storåsen/Ljonesåsen from Innstrandavegen
After visiting Daurmålsegga, I took a short bus ride to Ljones for a quick visit of Storåsen/Ljonesåsen. Previous reports talk about having to bypass a fox fur farm to get to the summit, see for example elbow (Vegard Magnussen)'s report here. The fox farm was however apparently shut down in 2020 and I therefore hoped that I could simply follow the road all the way to the summit, which turned out to be the case. After passing a couple of houses, including green houses, I arrived at the opened gates to the empty fox farm and could simply pass through, out the open gates at the other side, and continue south and then north on the tractor road.
The road split just before reaching the summit from where a smaller road and later trail could be followed south towards the summit. Only a final few meters off-trail was then required to reach the highest point. Next to no views. There may be slightly better views if following the road to its end east of the summit, but I had a bus to catch back at the main road and instead simply returned along the same route, the weather was not the best for views anyway. In summary, Storåsen/Ljonesåsen can now be accessed quite easily, although I do not expect it will make a big difference in the number of visitors.
