THIS TOUR HAS BEEN POSTPONED - NEW DATE COMING!

Join us on a hike in beautiful Fresvikåsen, the Skard - Lægdaskard - Fysseholten/Trollgisholten section!

Fresvikåsen, with its great natural and cultural values, has been highly valued and used by residents and farmers in the area for generations.
The area has over time become more and more popular as a tourist destination for many, not least travelers from home and abroad. Changes in the use of a landscape often lead to challenges for both the landscape, animal and bird life, and for the people in the area, and to conflicts. On the trip we will reflect on these challenges and possible solutions. History, natural and cultural values, the development of the area into a tourist destination, changes in the tourist area today, etc. will also be topics.

The hike starts from Skard, where we first follow an old farm road. We walk steadily uphill through the forest and up into the steep mountains, to the traditional hiking destination Lægdaskard. From here we have a great view of the Sognefjord, Fimreiteåsen and the mighty Hurrungane. We then follow a footpath down to another hiking destination, the long-defunct farm at Fysseholten / Trollgislholten. Here we treat ourselves to a walk out to the viewpoint over the Aurlandsfjord and the fjord meeting with the Sognefjord. The return hike goes down through a fine pine forest back to Skard.

The guide on the trip is biologist Siri Wølneberg Bøthun.
