Skiing: Flakavassnutane and Såtehjallane from Finse

Date:
20.04.2025
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
5:04h
Distance:
18.9km

Two days after my skiing trip from Hallingskeid to Nyrjuven I was back on the train from Bergen but this time taking the train one stop further and getting off at Finse . After safely crossing the train tracks I put on the skis and started on the marked winter route to Klemsbu . Around 1 km before the cabin I however left the marked route and headed more directly northeast towards Flakavassnutane . South of the summit I shortly reconnected with the marked route before finding my own way to the top, arriving at the large cairn without any difficulties. Excellent views from the summit, even though the sunshine promised by the weather forecast never materialized. A cold wind resulted in a short stay and after a couple of pictures I descended along the same route before following the marked route west to Klemsbu. I had initially considered to also include Vargabreen on today's trip >>>

Skiing: Nyrjuven/Osaskavlen from Hallingskeid

Date:
18.04.2025
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
4:56h
Distance:
16.4km

After spending the first half of Easter in Sogndal, I was now back in Bergen and after a night at home I got up early to take the train to Hallingskeid with the plan to ski to Nyrjuven/Osaskavlen . The sun was shining when the train arrived at Hallingskeid and I could put on the skis immediately after exiting the station from where I headed towards the bridge across Moldo . Given the issues I had had with the missing summer bridge during my recent attempt to cross the river south of Mjølfjell (which I later learnt opened just three days later…), I had in advance made sure that the bridge would in fact be there this time around , and could therefore easily cross to the other side. Safely across the river, I continued west along Buadalen where I pretty much followed the marked summer route to Osa/Rembesdalsseter until getting to the unnamed 1272 lake southwest of Daurmålsvatnet. From there it was simply a matter of navigating more or less directly west >>>
