If you want to experience beautiful Norwegian nature, Blåfjellet in Askvoll is an exellent place to visit. The mountain is located where fjord and costal Norway meet and offers the best of two worlds.
You start by folowing a river that is beautifully situated in wooded surroundings. Once you have crosssed the forest border, a wide sea view opens up and the trip continues in open mountain terrain. The combination of a boat trip from Bergen and hiking in this magnificent landscape, can make this day one of the hightlights of the summer!
The trail to Blåfjelles lies to the north of Askvoll village centre, and climbs to a height of 533 m above sea level. The trip is about 5 km long and takes about 3 hours. The trail starts from Storehaugsveien, Askvoll Øvre. Follow the sign to Blåfjell. The trail is mostly solig ground, with some mashy sections. It is well marked and easy to find in the terrain. At the top you will have a great view!
