I’ll never get tired of Ånnfjället. It doesn’t matter how many times I’m up there, but I always find something new. I’m not talking about summiting it every time, I mean the peak gets uninteresting really quickly. All you need is to get above the tree line, and the options are endless! My new favourite…

One of the best places to shoot autumn colours is the Össjödalen valley, so I went there today to see if I could find some birches which are not savaged by the moth larvae. I was very pleased to see that it was looking good and the colours are peaking, and I also found some…

For the third time within a week, I got myself up to Funäsdalsberget. The weather forecast wasn’t very promising and it rained a little at first, but then it got better – much better than forecast. On the other hand, last Sunday it was much worse than forecast. On Wednesday it was worse than forecast.…

Same thing as yesterday – straight up a mountain after work. This time on Funäsdalsberget, because for years I have been dreaming about getting a killer panorama of Anåfjället and it was borderline possible that the conditions would be right today. Evening light, some nice clouds… that would be the ticket. It started promisingly, I…

15 minutes after signing off from work, I was on the trail up to Ånnfjället. Awesome! It rained a little bit at first and the threat of rain was ever present during the hike, even when the sun came out just for a brief moment. But the rain really makes the colours stand out, and…

Now how long have I been thinking about doing the via ferrata in Funäsdalen? No more! I figured, how hard can it be, they send up tourists in wholesale without prior climbing experience and no rope teams and no guides… I’ve done a via ferrata in the Alps, this should be a piece a cake!…

Ever since my trip to Sylarna two years ago, I’ve been wanting to see the west side the massif which I missed out on back then. In particular, the lake which is hidden at the foot of Storsylen. The nice weather from yesterday was getting even better – almost no wind and the sun was…

You know how much I love hiking, but this week I’ve had this enormous longing to be out and about, even I’m surprised. It could be mosquito related though – there are none. We’ve already had night frost and it’s not that warm during the day either. Gloves are a must-have. In other words, it’s…

The main attraction of our little vacation is the Romsdalseggen hike. The best (and most popular) option is to take a bus from Åndalsnes to Venjesdalen, so you can hike back to Åndalsnes where the trail finishes right next to the parking lot where we left the car. Very practical! When you hit the trail,…

Sometimes Plan B works out better than Plan A. I have a feeling that this was the case for this mini-vacation. Instead of doing Galdhøpiggen (bad weather), I did some last minute research and found a route that includes the Aursjøveien (Aursjøvegen) mountain road, Norway’s highest waterfall Mardalsfossen, the spectacular Romsdalseggen hike in Åndalsnes, and the…
