Difficulty: YDS class 2
Information:
How to get there:
Follow Hwy. 7 from Trengereid outside Bergen (on Hwy. E-16), passing
Nordheimsund. Drive across the old bridge at Fyksesund, shortly after
the bridge (less than 1 km), turn sharply right at a sign for Klyve.
The road crosses Hwy. 7 on a bridge then in the small place called Fykse, make
a right turn following signs for Bjørke.
Drive this farm access road uphill and almost to the end, then locate a small
area for parking on your left hand side at location N60.39766, E006.28471, elevation
about 280 meter.
Route:
Take the small farm access road that runs uphill immediately before the parking
area. Follow it between the farm buidings, a rough farm road then starts out going right.
This road is often a ski track in winter. The trail, or ski track has a couple
of signs along the way reading Nyasete.
Continue passing Nyasete, keep north directly
towards a steep cliff. Before the creek that
comes down from the right (next to the cliff), ascend the hill quite steeply, gradually
getting closer to the cliff. This route is pretty good for skiing. Ascend higher to reach a
local col at about 730 meter. From here, descend along the small valley heading in the
direction of the small hut named Stavdal.

direction of the small hut named Stavdal.
From here, one may ski up the distinct small valley, (big gully) that splits the
south slope of Vetlegreggen (1014m). One may also stay on the broad ridge east (right)
of this gully, depending on the snow conditions. After Vetlegreggen, one may
proceed in the same manner to the first (south-west) summit of
Storegreggen. This summit point is marked by a few rocks only.
This point is most likely, the highest summit.
Another summit point near a distinct
rock is marked on the map as 1094 meter. Visit this point also, just to play it safe.
Return along the same route going downhill.
Comments:
This was a ski trip together with my friend Fredrik and a younger
member of the Bergen mountaineering group, Thomas (age 34).
After a morning drive from Bergen to Bjørke,
we were ready to ski around 0945.
We first skied to Giljafjell, then traversed Storegreggen from the small
lake (elevation 855m), north-east of the mountain.
We arrived at the
1094 summit around 1600, then continued to the summit further south that seemed slightly higher (GPS) and
besides that, had an even better view.
Leaving at 1615, we haad a fun ski back down into the valley (Stavdal), then across the ridge and back
down to Nyasete. We reached the car at 1740, it was pretty dark and absolutely about time to
head back home to Bergen.
Thanks to Thomas and Fredrik for good company!
