To Mount Heggdalshornet and Mount Opstadhornet

Datum:
12.12.2020
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:27h
Entfernung:
15,8km

Winter had definitely arrived by now, and there was snow up in the higher mountains, especially in inland areas; though it was still not enough snow for skiing in most places. There had been some snow in October and November, but then most of it had disappeared again. Nevertheless, many of the smaller mountains in the coastal area were currently without snow (or without any amount worth mentioning), and so on this day my son and I opted for two of the peaks on an island called Otrøya . So, we drove to the village of Brattvåg, and went by the ferry over to the tiny island of Dryna. Dryna is connected to the larger island called Midøya with a little bridge, and Midøya is in turn connected to Otrøya Island with an even larger bridge (see map). I had previously never ascended any of the many >>>

To Mount Gryta in Stryn Municipality

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
7,4km

On this day, there was some snow in the mountains, though not enough for skiing; at least most places. So my son and I opted for a mountain that we could ascend on foot on this day, and we were of course prepared to do the walk in snow about halfway up to our knees. A mountain well suited for such a trek, was Mount Gryta in Stryn Municipality in the County of Vestland. So we went to Stryn by car, and used Google map to find our way to Stryn Vinterskisenter [i.e. "Stryn Winter Skiing Center"]. This skiing center has been so named, because there is another one, much higher up in the mountains, that carries the name Stryn Sommerskisenter [i.e "Stryn Summer Skiing Center"]. From the parking lot at the ski centre, we followed a road through a cabin village called Bøasetra; a >>>

Til Niusen på Skøye med Dag

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:17h
Entfernung:
7,8km

Det hadde nylig falt en del snø, slik at det i de høye fjellene var for mye snø til å gå vanlige fjellturer, men samtidig var det fortsatt for lite med tanke på å skulle gå på ski. Så da foreslo eldstegutten min at vi kunne gå på Nihusen på skøye. Dette fjellet er ikke særlig høyt, bare 438 høydemeter, så man kommer seg alltids både opp og ned igjen, selv om det er litt glatt, og man bruker litt tid på turen. Vi kjørte til Skodje [lokal utt.: Skøye], og parkerte på parkeringsplassen bak rådhuset og legekontoret (se kart), og derfra fulgte vi Nihusvegen opp til skogen. Min sønn hadde vært på Nihusen før, og visste vegen, men med en god turbeskrivelse skulle det uansett ikke ha vært vanskelig å finne stien vi skulle følge gjennom skogen og opp på fjellet. Stien >>>

To Mount Saudehornet in Ørsta Municipality

Tourcharakter:
Hochtour
Tourlänge:
4:20h
Entfernung:
10,4km

It had been snowing in the mountains lately, and so for this days mountain trek, we had been trying to pick a mountain not too high; in order to stay below the snow. And, as my son Dag had lately read a tour description about a mountain called Kyrkjetinden [i.e. "The Church Peak"] in Ørsta municipality in the County of Møre & Romsdal, we decided to go there. Kyrkjetinden is a peak located just about 6 kilometers or so from the town center of Ørsta, and it has an elevation of 1069 m.a.m.s.l.; and was thus located well beneath the altitude down to which the snow reached at this time. We drove to Ørsta, and parked at a little parking lot by a road called Fonnavegen, just by a training ground for dogs, which is located between this road and a little river located just there. There >>>

To Mount Breitinden and Mount Mannen with my Son

Datum:
10.10.2020
Tourcharakter:
Hochtour
Tourlänge:
7:04h
Entfernung:
16,1km

We did set out for the Mountain called Breitinden [i.e. "The Broad Peak"] one week prior to this trip, but we never reached it on that day, mainly because we had limited time available; so on this day we decided to make a new attempt. Moreover, in order not to fail a second time, we opted for a more regular route this time; and so we set out from the Trollstigen Tourist Center, into the valley called Stigebotnen (see map). From this valley we climbed onto the mountain ridge that interconnects Mount Storgrovfjellet and Mount Breitinden, and thereafter we followed that ridge up to the top of Mount Breitinden. As you're coming up on the edge of this mountain ridge, you get a very good view of the peaks that the locals call the Troll Peaks [Norwegian: "Trolltindan"] i.e. the >>>

To Mount Klovetinden and Mount Middagshornet

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
5:17h
Entfernung:
13,1km

On this particular day, I went mountain hiking with my oldest son and my youngest daughter. We discussed in advance where to go, and then my daughter came up with the suggestion of Mount Klovetinden [945 m.a.m.s.l.] in Ørsta Municipality, and the rest of us had no objection to it. We went with my daughter’s car to the ferry quay at Solevågseidet, crossed the fjord by the ferry; and then continued by car to the bay called Barstadvika, and then up to a cabin area called Barstadsætra, located about 190 m.a.m.s.l. (see map). We parked the car at the parking lot by the river, and then started hiking up the mountain along a nice, well marked, and readily visible trail. My daughter had been hiking in this area before, and new very well which trail we ought to choose. The first part of the trail >>>

Visiting Mount Nordre Trolltind with my Son

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Hochtour
Tourlänge:
7:00h
Entfernung:
13,1km

I had previously visited Mount Nordre Trolltinden [1452 m.a.m.s.l.] once, in order to familiarize myself with this peak, and with a few other peaks around it; including Mount Store Trolltind [1788 m.a.m.s.l.]. A dream of mine is to one day join a team of climbers in an ascent from Mount Nordre Trolltinden [i.e. "Northern Troll Peak] to Mount Store Trolltinden [i.e. "Greater Troll Peak"], as these two peaks are interconnected by a ridge that may be climbed if you’re using ropes, and have the appropriate security equipment. [For a tour description of my previous climb to Mount Nordre Trolltinden, see Reconnaissance Hike to Mount Nordre Trolltind ] On this day, my son Dag asked me to join him for a climb to Mount Nordre Trolltinden, as he had never been there. The weather forecast for the day was excellent, and so I decided >>>

To Mount Sandfjellet in Vestnes Municipality

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
3:51h
Entfernung:
10,7km

This particular hike was one that my oldest son, Dag, recommended me to do. He had himself ascended this mountain, and said it was a nice day-trip that is feasible to realize. He explained to me how to get there, and where to park the car; and before leaving home, I even consulted some tour descriptions here on Peakbook. I drove to a fjord called Tresfjorden, in Vestnes Municipality, and then continued up a valley called Rypdalen. In the upper part of Rypdalen Valley, you have to pay a fee in order to continue. Now, the easiest way to pay that fee is to use the Swish app, though there was also a mailbox in which you could drop an envelope with money inside. Once you've payed the fee, you can continue upwards along a steep and narrow graveled road that takes you all the way up to a parking lot >>>

Hiking to Mount Honndalsrokken with My Oldest Son

Datum:
29.08.2020
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
8:24h
Entfernung:
18,6km

On this day my son Dag asked me to join him for a hike to Mount Honndalsrokken . This mountain is widely known in our part of Norway, as its characteristic spikelike shape may be spotted from afar. The name of the mountain is actually also derived from its shape: The spikelike summit of the mountain looks a bit like the spindle of a traditional spinning wheel, and rokk is the Norwegian word for such a spinning wheel. [Officially, the mountain is actually called Hornindalsrokken, but most locals refer to it as Honndalsrokken]. I have for several years been thinking of hiking this mountain, and so I immediately agreed to his suggestion, and went with him. We parked our car in the parking lot just by Honndøla Bru, i.e. the bridge across Honndøla River (see image ##1 and 26), and from there we >>>

Reconnaissance Hike to Mount Nordre Trolltind

Datum:
15.08.2020
Tourcharakter:
Hochtour
Tourlänge:
6:15h
Entfernung:
12,8km

I've read somewhere here on Peakbook, about various groups of people that have climbed from Mount Nordre Trolltind [i.e. Northern Troll Peak] up to Mount Store Trolltind [i.e. Greater Troll Peak]. The two peaks are interconnected with a very steep ridge, and all those that have done the climb; or at least all those that I have read about, have used advanced climbing gear including ropes. I would indeed like to do that climb as part of a climbing team at some time in the future, and so on this day I decided to climb Mount Nordre Trolltind just as a reconnaissance climb/hike; in order to learn more about the two mountains. I did not bring any climbing gear with me on this trip, however, as I wasn't going to climb beyond Mount Nordre Trolltind; but I had with me a pair of binoculars, so as to >>>
