Øyefjellet/Varden from Øvsthus

Dato:
23.04.2022
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:42t
Distanse:
7,3km

After visiting Veten and Sandvikehorga and Bygdaåsen , we still had around two hours until the planned ferry back to Gjermundshamn, which should be more than enough for me to also make a quick visit to Øyefjellet/Varden . Given that petter (Petter Bjørstad) had already visited Øyefjellet more than 15 years ago, he simply dropped me off at the trailhead at Øvsthus. The marked trail was easy to follow and I initially made good progress towards the summit. Soon I would however get to areas that were first wet and muddy and later also covered by increasing amounts of snow, at times even making it difficult to spot the trail markers. This of course greatly reduced my speed and I constantly had to keep an eye on my watch in order to make sure that I had enough time to both get to the summit and back down again in time for the ferry. In the end, I finally reached the summit >>>

Bygdaåsen

1,9km

After our hike to Veten and Sandvikehorga , petter (Petter Bjørstad) and I drove the short distance to Glebakka where we were the only car at the large parking lot . There was a hiking information sign next to the parking lot, but it only indicated a trip to Barlinda, which is apparently the largest tree of its kind in Northern Europe . We however ignored this suggested route and instead headed off-trail along the ridge to Bygdaåsen in the opposite direction. The terrain was easier to traverse than expected and there were lots of deer tracks showing the way. In order to avoid two surprisingly deep gorges north of the summit, we ended up following the ridge west of the summit before turning southeast for the final ascent. Limited views due to lots of trees and while the summit can be reached without any real issues it is clearly more of an acquired taste and not the kind of peak most hikers will feel much need to >>>

Veten and Sandvikehorga

Distanse:
5,9km

A visit to Varaldsøy had been on my list for a while. However, it is a bit tricky to get to with public transportation, so when petter (Petter Bjørstad) asked if I was interested in going hiking the upcoming weekend I suggested Varaldsøy as an option, and given that Petter had three summits yet to visit on the island he was quick to agree. Upon arriving at Varaldsøy, we decided to start with Veten (which for some reason is called Vetan on PB) and Sandvikehorga , and thus drove to the small parking lot at the southern end of Vetla Svartavatnet . Here there was room for a couple of cars next to the gravel road and the marked trailhead was easily located. The very nice trail could be followed all the way to the summit without any real challenges except for the occasional very light scrambling. The summit provided excellent panoramic views only partly reduced by the sun not yet having fully emerged >>>

Dueskardhøgdi and Lingesetfjellet from Haukåsen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
3:53t
Distanse:
15,7km

The small free parking lot at the start of the ski trail was full. Hence we had to park at the larger parking lot next to the airport. (Note that if installing an app it is apparently possible to get a discount on the parking fee when going hiking or skiing. We however did not notice this until it was too late. See the small poster when entering the parking lot for more details.) From the parking lot we walked the short distance to the trailhead where we put on the skis and followed the snow-covered gravel road up to Lingesete . The road continued beyond Lingesete, but as we passed south of Lingesetfjellet it started to feel a lot more like backcountry skiing. There should be a trail all the way to the summit in the summer time though. The summit provided spectacular panoramic views and, with next to no wind, a very >>>
