Information:

How to get there:
From Bergen, drive E-16 to Voss. In Voss, take Hwy. 13 to Granvin. Pay attention and exit right (to Granvin) immediately before the long tunnel that leads to the Hardangerfjorden bridge.
In Granvin, follow the main road to location 60.52613, 6.72125. (approximately 1.2 kilometer after exiting to Granvin. Turn left here and take the leftmost of the two roads. Continue to 60.52909, 6.73421. Turn right here, continue uphill to location 60.52905, 6.74594, elevation near 225 meter. Find parking for 4 cars on your left. This is the trailhead.
Route:
About 100 meter more uphill along the road, a local forest road forks right. Follow this road uphill about 1.3 kilometer to a road fork. Take the right fork gently downhill, then across the creek. The road curves sharply right and the trail heads uphill between trees to your left. Follow this trail uphill until you enter more open terrain with fewer trees. The route tends more directly south as it continues to climb. Higher up, you will see the rounded summit slightly left. Continue into a shallow bowl, curve left and ascend the final slope to the summit. The summit is directly on top of the steep south face of the mountain.
Comments:
I did this trip as winter trip leader for a group of 13, organized by the mountaineering club (DNT) in Bergen. We left Bergen shortly after 0800 in private cars and were ready to ski around 1045. The group made good progress and we arrived at the summit (after a few brief stops along the way) around 1315. Good views to Eidfjord, but perhaps most impresive, the Sørfjorden view. Almost directly down, we could see the Hardanger bridge, one of the largest such bridges in the world, from here it looked rather small. Everyone was happy to reach such a nice viewpoint, but also looking forward to a great run down, a nice layer of powder on top of a nice crust. We were back at the cars before 1500. Thanks to co-trip leader Arild as well as to all participaants for a nice day.
