Bergefjell and Vikastakken are the highest mountains near Forsand. Together, the two peaks form a stunning mountain ridge ideal for an unforgettable hike providing views in all directions. Hike from A to B and end or start your experience with a bike ride along the Lysefjord.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_letter_spacing=”1px” text_line_height=”1.5em” width=”100%” custom_margin=”||35px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

This hike is suitable for those who have done some good hikes before. It is one long uphill to Bergefjell, but the views along the way are rewarding. Start at the playing ground across the street from Forsand Bedehus. Take a good breathe, the ascent begins immediately. The first 2.5 km, you will have to bridge 600 meters of elevation gain. Take you time, as there is a lot to see when looking back down on Forand and Oanes – with the H\u00f8gsfjord in the background. Parts of the trail go through forest, before you cross the treeline and hike mostly on bedrock. Well up, you get panoramic views that take you all the way to the open ocean.<\/p>\n

If the whole traverse seems too demanding when you have reached Bergefjell, it is recommended to return the same way you came. However, past Bergefjell, the terrain becomes more gentle. The trail winds past three beautiful mountain lakes: Svartalivatn, Stemmavatn and St\u00f8lsvanet, before the last ascent up to Vikastakken and its characteristic peak.<\/p>\n

Up here, you get new views in all directions: the Lysefjord and J\u00f8rpeland in the distance. The H\u00f8gsfjord with islands and islets – far behind you’ll be able to see Stavanger on clear days. In the east, characteristic Mount Frafjordhatten catches the eye. And of course Mount Neverdalsfjellet with icon Preikestolen.<\/p>\n

The trail down starts gentle, before becoming gradually steeper. It winds its way between trees, rocks and heather and follows the edge of a moraine ridge for a short distance. At Vikast\u00f8len, the terrain is quite flat. The well-maintained cabin (not open for accommodation) is located in a clearing in the woods, and marks the start of the steep part of the descent. The trail dives down through large pine forests where you can glimpse the Lysefjord between the trees. The hike ends at the road between Vika and D\u00f8rvika.<\/p>\n
