Søyleåsen and Storeklubben
A short winter adventure in Arna to ascend two recently added peaks on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I got off the bus at "Haukeland sør" and after a short walk south along the main road I started my ascent to Søyleåsen, first along the road up to the house south of the summit and then off-trail in knee-deep snow to the highest point. No views from the summit but a nice view across Søylevatnet could be obtained further south.
I followed my footprints back to the main road and then headed east to Eikeli and Storeklubben. The area on the west side of the road north of the houses was blocked by an electric fence and I therefore continued another 200 meters before beginning my off-trail ascent, also here in deep snow. The summit was easily reached and was thankfully just outside the fenced area. Limited views and I quickly returned the same way.
Before taking the bus back to Bergen, I also made a quick stop at Haukeland stasjon, another station on the original railway line from Bergen to Voss.
