Information:
How to get there:
Drive E-16 from Voss to Evanger. Cross the bridge and immediately turn right as
you pass the local grocery store. Follow this road as it winds its way
uphill, then traverses eastward. The road will cross a small creek on a bridge
then arrive at a small saw-mill with entrance on the right hand side of the
road. This is a possible place to park, however, one should always ask permission
from the owners, they live a bit further up the road (Muggås).
The location is N60.65222, E006.13818, elevation about 275 meter.
Route description:
From the parking, walk back along the road and across the bridge, shortly after this,
a farmers road forks sharply right. Follow this road, after about one kilometer, this road
makes a sharp turn left (west). In summer, follow the trail from this bend to
Muggåsstølen. In winter, it is better to continue along the road until
you get to the next little stream. There
is another trail here running up a small
valley called Bjørnagili.
The ski route then continues uphill on the west (left)
side of the main creek to reach an area close to the outlet from lake Skorsetvatnet,
elevation 777 meter.
From the lake, continue to ascend north. Unless there are avalanche issues from the
steeper cliffs on your right (east), one may follow the main drainage, alternatively,
one may ascend a bit
further left (west). When reaching the top area, continue
north-east to find the summit.
Comments:
This was a Sunday trip that I organized for the Bergen Mountaineering group.
We were 17 people that skied to this summit.
Everybody made the top, actually ahead of my estimated time.
We started somewhat before 1000 and returned to the cars around 1500.
