Store Bjoreinuten, Fagernuten and Vetle Allgarden
After a long drive from Bergen, most of it in very dense fog, we could finally leave the poor visibility behind shortly after beginning the ascent from Eidfjord and when parking the car next to the road north of Store Bjoreinuten the sun was shining from an almost cloudless sky. After crossing Bjoreio we easily made our way to the highest point of Store Bjoreinuten, passing by the old northwestern summit marked by a small cairn on the way.
Next, we headed more or less directly southwest towards Fagernuten, rounded the summit on the eastern side and made the final ascent from the south. After a short break next the cairn, we descended northeast into the valley between Fagernuten and Store Allgarden before turning north and passing by Drøllstøl on our way to Vetle Allgarden.
The ascent to Vetle Allgarden was a mixed bag. It started with a minor struggle in deep and heavy snow which later turned into areas with almost no snow at all. After another break at the summit, we headed more or less in a direct line east, aiming for the dam across Bjoreio, and finally concluded the hike by walking the short distance along the main road back to the car. We had also planned to ascent Grytehorga but given the sub optimal skiing conditions, we left this for another day.
In summary, a nice skiing trip that can be recommended, but would benefit greatly from better snow conditions, unlike today when it was a mix of icy surfaces and plenty of spots without any snow at all. Takk for turen, Endre!
