How to get there:
From Bergen, drive E-16 to Voss, continue through the tunnel turn right in the traffic circle when exiting.
Drive a few kilometer in the direction of Granvin, look for signs and make a left when you see the sign for Mjølfjell.
Follow this Mjølfjell road for about 10 kilometer until you see a sign for Kvitno going left. Take this road, cross
the creek (left fork) and find parking on the left side just after a left turn in a T-junction.
Pay parking, NOK 50 in 2023. This location is
at N60.70098, E006.57960, elevation about 507 meter.
Route:
Ski the road that continues and serves Fjosstølen, about 1 kilometer away. Ascend left to the
north ridge of Lauvhovden after
about 800 meter. Follow the ridge to the summit, ascending more right when the main ridge
levels out.
Comments:
I was at Voss with the Bergen Mountaineering club. The previous day having
guided a group on a ski ascent of a 1269m peak
from Brandset. Today, too few signed up for a ski ascent, the weather forecast was
also less than perfect. I therefore decided to ski a couple of smaller hills north
of Voss.
The weather and snow actually turned out better than expected.
I started skiing at 0915 and made the summit of Høgenoltane by 1025. Skiing back
down to Fjosstølen, I next skied up the north ridge of Lauvhovden arriving there
by 1145. A short break, then descending back to the car by 1215. A nice 3 hour trip with
2 summits.
