Vikeså
Storafjellet near Vikeså is a short but steep summit hike with a shelter at the top and sweeping views over Bjerkreim, Dalane and Jæren.
Take an afternoon walk to the day-trip cabin on Storafjellet, a mountain peak right in the centre of Vikeså! Here you’ll enjoy spectacular views and the chance to make a cup of coffee on the wood-burning stove once you reach an altitude of 500 metres. Several possible hiking trails lead up to the top; the path can be steep, but it’s well maintained. Steps and ladders are bolted in place on the steepest sections.
Access and parking
You can park at Storafjell Nursery, at the top of the Tjødnaråsen housing estate by Lauvtjødna, or at Skjæveland. All the trails are well signposted. The terrain is moderately challenging, and the walk takes just under an hour if you start at Storafjell kindergarten.
Be prepared and use the wood-burning stove responsibly
The path to Storafjell may include both rocky and marshy sections. Wear shoes with a good grip, dress for the weather and follow the signposts. Use the wood-burning stove safely and check for any local restrictions before lighting a fire. Feel free to bring your own dry firewood and make sure the fire is completely extinguished before you leave. Show consideration for wildlife and take all your rubbish with you.
