At end of August I joined an organized KNT-tour in the Sunndal mountains Vangshaugen, owned by KNT, where our trip started and ended. Hafsåssetra. We followed the T-marked trail from Hafsåsen to Rauberghytta. Falesetra. Looking back to Geitåa. Rauberghytta Sunday morning. First break on our way to Seterfjellet. No waymarked trails.

On a calm, lightly clouded day in the beginning of July, we took the ferry to the south side of the fjord to climb the mountains I looked at every day through my childhood. A great experience!

Tourist map: Kristiansund 1: 50 000 (UGLAND IT GROUP) Snøtind in Eide is the highest, and one of the most beautiful mountains in our area. It is high, it is steep and you have to exert yourself to reach the top,- but when you have done it, I’ll assure you that you feel it’s worth it. This is not a trip for wet and foggy days!

Freikollen, the way we see it from Ristuva, Averøy. Touristmap: Kristiansund 1 : 50 000 ( UGLAND IT-GROUP ) As you can se on the map, there are several routes leading to Freikollen.

Touristmap: Molde 1: 50 000 (UGLAND IT GROUP) On Whit Monday the sky was blue and we decided to ignore the wind, the low temperature and the fresh snow on the tops. We started off to Melen (768 m) and Sjurvarden (667 m),- two beautiful mountains on the mainland, not far from here. The car trip over Atlanterhavsveien (The Atlantic Ocean Road) is just a bonus,

As I answered Mette’s comment to my "GREAT EXPERIENCES IN MY OWN NIGHBOURHOOD" my links dissapeared, and some of my answer became a little meaningles Her comes the answer,- with links:You find Ristuva at Averøy, on the north west coast of Norway. Our paths start at Vebenstad, in the middle of the island. There is a parking place near Bådalen skole. Going back to the main road you turn

Living in the countryside, at the north-west coast of Norway, we are lucky to have a fantastic, various nature just outside our doorstep. We can choose among sea, woods, hills and mountains for relax and exercise. I love all kind of outdoor life, but for the great experiences I prefer the mountains. I dream about hiking for days in the Norwegian mountains

My love of hiking and trekking started when I was a young boy. I have now the privilege to have two sons who also enjoy all our hiking trips, and they do not care in what kind of weather it is. This Christmas we were together with one other family and friends on a evening walk in bright moonshine, just -2 C and no snow.
