Jordalsnuten
in the middle, seen from Nærøydalen close to Gudvangen. Quite an
impressive mountain.
|
You
go by car a little bit up into Jordalen, through two tunnels. It is
steep uphill and the parking place is at 435m. I help a flock of cows,
who have lost there way into the tunnel, to get out of there with my
carlight. They later thank me by licking at my car while I am on the
mountain. |

The trail can be
hard to find. You go through the forest steep uphill to a sadelpoint
at 830 m. From here you can see Jordalsnuten with some 100 altitude
meters left. |
The summit of
Jordalsnuten, 937m (my GPS says 944m). |

The
wiew down Nærøydalen is breathtaking. The picture can only give a hint
of
how beautiful this is. |
At some places
it looks as if someone has used a huge knife and carved out the valley. |

About
30 km to the southwest you can see the characteristic mast on the top of
Lønahorgi, 1410 m close to Voss. |
A
small waterfall in Nærøydalen. |

The trail goes
back to the sadelpoint and up towards Vardanosi. Here is a look
back towards Jordalsnuten. |
Running
water, an excellent time to refill the waterbottles.

About
halfway up towards Vardanosi Jordalsnuten looks like this. |
There
is a lot of snow on the mountains. |
|

 |
 |
|
|
The
slopes towards Vardanosi are rather steep at some places (this is not
the steepest) and some scrambling is needed. |
The
peak is on a relatively flat area and rather insignificant. Here is no
cairn or anything. In the background, a little to the right is
Solbjørgonipa, 1465m. |
