Åsen
With Ingahogg and Tindafjellet in the bag, we drove the short distance from the parking lot at Fjellhaugen Skisenter to the top of the pass between Indre Matre and Opstveit. Here there was room for a couple of cars without hindering the traffic or blocking access to the recycling station. In light rain that would thankfully soon stop, we then followed various deer tracks up to the ridge leading to Åsen.
Getting to the ridge involved a short steep section that we managed to avoid when later descending but was otherwise straightforward. It was then just a matter of following various deer tracks on our way to the summit. Despite being the lowest summit of the day, it actually provided the best views, mainly as we were now under the layer of dense fog, however the views were marred by the overhanging powerlines.
We returned more or less the same way and then drove the short distance northeast for our final ascent of the day, namely Bergshovda.
