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. |
