Friday 09:00 Olsskavlen (Two runs)
Olsskavelen is the highest mountain in Voss. It is the eastern peak of Raundalseggi and is 1576 meters above sea level. The summit is a paradise for exciting runs and that is what we are planning to ride. We´ll hike up the ´normal route´ from Voll to the top. There are several ridges and flanks towards Hardanger that are perfect for powder skiing. The view is amazing all the way down. Olsskavlen is a big mountain and one of the largest on the west coast. It is quite vulnerable in bad weather conditions, therefore we do have an alternative if the weather is bad.
To join this trip you must be in a relatively good shape and have been ski touring before. If the weather is fine, we’ll climb the mountain twice, from two different angles. This is a proper ski tour with lots of nice skiing.
10 people can join this trip.
Friday 09:00 Horndalsnuten
Horndalsnuten is a backcountry treasure in Voss. It is easily accessible and has a large selection of runs. Horndalsnuten is 1461 meters above sea level and located far west of Raundalseggi. The tour start at Skiple and we´ll hike the ´normal´ route towards the top. We ski down the same way we hike up as the terrain is perfect for big long turns. The summit is one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Voss and the run back to Skiple is stunning. This is a classical ski tour in Voss and the terrain is relatively gentle. We´ll take it nice and slow, no rush on this tour.
To join the tour you must be in okay shape and be familiar with equipment and behaviour when out ski touring. The tour to Horndalsnuten is rated easier than Olsskavelen, even though both of them are big mountains with exciting runs.
10 people can join this trip.
Saturday 11:00 Hermannsnuten
Hermannsnuten is located south of Voss and is 1219 meters above sea level. To get there, we´ll start in Bodalen, more precise Tesdal. Hermannsnuten offers great big mountain skiing and as we run down we’ll have some awesome skiing in the woods too. There is a great hope of proper powder skiing as the valley preserves the snow well.
This is a social ski tour where everyone who likes ski touring shall feel free to join. Bring some orange and chocolate and we’ll have a great day in the snow.
We aim to be back down in Voss long before the evening’s festivities starts.
