Klåberget

When snow conditions allow, a ski trail is groomed from the clubhouse of the Søya Sports Association in Vang up to the viewing point Klåberget. The trail destination offers a great view, and skiing there is a perfect exercise. The ski trail gradually ascends from the starting point up to Klåberget. Once you come up there, you can choose between a fast downhill slope that will take you back to Vang along the same route or do a loop trail with a slightly less steep descent on your way down. You can also continue your ski trip from Klåberget up to the top of Mount Strengen. In that case, you can either go straight up or follow a less steep route to the mountaintop, and you have several alternative routes to choose from on your way down. It is also possible to follow the groomed ski trail that runs from the alpine ski resort in Surnadal. The ski trail to the top of Mount Strengen is not groomed during the entire winter. This is one of the Stikk Ut ski trails, and you can also make it into a loop trail, as mentioned earlier. To do that, follow the ski trail that runs west from Klåberget in the direction of Fagerlivarden, Finnvikslettet, and down Langliene. This trail runs past Haukarberget where you will find Søya Sports Association’s trail journal. The ski trail down the hillside of Langliene also ends at the car park of the sports venue Vang Skiarena. If you choose to do a loop trail, you will follow a much more gradual descent than if you follow the same route back. You can also ski in the opposite direction by starting the trail up Langliene and going down the forest road west of Røgardane.

After you have parked your car by the sports venue, go east in the same direction you came from for a couple of hundred metres along the lower side of the road. Cross the road and the Røelva River and follow the forest road up to “Utigardshytta”. As you move further up, you will reach a groomed ski trail that runs all the way up to the Stikk Ut trail postbox. You can follow the same route on your way down to the starting point or choose one of the other prepared ski trails in the area.

This trail starts at the sports venue Vang Skiarena in Røgrenda, Surnadal Municipality. If you are not familiar with the area, start driving to the starting point of the trail from the junction on National Road 670. This junction is about one kilometre away from the ferry terminal in Kvanne if you are driving in the direction of Skei. Røvegen Road begins on the upper side of the road. The road towards Vang Skiarena is signposted from here, and the distance there is under three kilometres. You can leave your car at the marked car park of the sports venue. Free parking.
