Information:
How to get there:
From Bergen, drive E-16 towards Voss, but exit (right) at Dale.
Continue through Dale and up the narrow (spectacular) road that
runs up Bergsdalen. About 30 years ago, this was the main Hwy. connecting
Bergen to Oslo, very hard to believe when driving there today.
Pass the first lake and the small power plant at Fosse, continue in a big
left bend around the small hill with elevation 519m. Locate parking (there is
an old open gate there) on your left in the next right bend on the road.
This is location N60.57592, E005.89968, elevation about 425 meter.
Route description:
Continue along the road about 250 meter, then take the small road/path that exits
right and connects to the bridge ahead. Ski up the nice slope on Revanjuken,
stay to the left side at the upper (slightly steeper) part.
There is a cairn
placed around 760 meter of elevation. From here, turn more right and head flat and
downhill towards Øyanovi. Pay attention as there is a steep final drop to
the narrow connecting valley, however this ends and there is an easy access to
the saddle near location N60.56923, E005.85802, elevation slightly more than
680 meter.
From here, ascend on easy slopes avoiding the rocks, typically moving right
while ascending. The summit is marked with two rocks near the steep west side.
Comments:
The forecast was good and I started early from Bergen.
I started at 0750 and had a very nice ski, arriving
at the summit by 1050. My trip then continued to
Storafjellet.
