First snowfall this winter season

Today it came a few centimeters of soft snow. First it started as hail and turned later into soft snow. It's not often that we get snow in september, and this won't stay very long. It is still quite warm weather, with temperatures up till +8 degrees during daytime. So the real huge amounts of snow will not come for another few weeks.

Last week of walking in 2009

This week we had an organized walking program in co-operation with Norske Bygdeopplevelser and Vi over 60. It was an easier program compared to what we normally do, with Dørdalen and Mya on monday, Trabelifjell and Forbundsfjell on tuesday, Sollia on wednesday and Svartfjell and Dynjefjell on thursday. With a farwell dinner on thursday eve.

The weather was brilliant, with a few showers only. And we sang along all the way.

We were lucky with all the colours too, as we were progressing the week, there were less and less colours so now there are almost no colours anymore.

And now there are no more organized walks until mid june 2010.

By the way, the horses are gone too. They will be back around june 2010, as the summer holiday starts....

Autumn start

Good morning. I can not believe it is already September, maybe it is just me but the time is running faster nowadays :) Last night we had some rough weather, hail, lightning and lots of rain. Looking out of my window now, it seems to be settled and we might have some sunny days ahead of us. It is time to enjoy the colours and proper visibility, it has been a while I have seen Muen :)

Our summer season is almost over, I will be out for a few weeks again preparing for the winter season. Please keep checking the blog.

More mixed weather

Good morning. 8AM: +4,6 Celsius, light breeze, rain. It says it all: bit colder and still raining on and off. Feels like those monsoon days in India except the 30 Celsius temperature difference :)

Colours are changing, when we have visibility we can see the Autumn colours coming out. Still some cloudberrys (molte) to pick, but time is running out...

Wet summer continues

Good day for everyone. We are back on waterproof gear testing. Fog, clouds, rain and mixed visibility are on the menu today, but no complaints. 11 Celsius, light air. You are not late to test your Gore Tex equipment, few more days like this are on the way :)

Sunshine, fog, drizzle, rain, hail, etc.

All weather conditions in the last few days even some frost. We saw some wildlife too: eagle, buzzard, moose, reindeer.

Welcome back!

Sorry about the long silence, it has been busy here and I was away on an overseas "mission". As I heard it has been colder than usual here and with lot of rain too. Tours were running smoothly and people enjoyed their stay here at Venabygdfjellet and there are more to come.

Temperature range between 2-16 Celsius, rain, fog, sunny spells. Enjoy these few pictures from the last days.

Wet monday

Last week was quite dry and a few showers only. Yesterday, as I and our two guests went to Svartfjell we had rain and got back soaked.

And today we started out with dry boots and rain gear, heading for Døra and Mya, but when we came to the bridge crossing Mya we saw it was flooding, and the last 2 meters that usually is a dry flat rock, was covered with flushing water. So today's walk was 2 km. long. And got back even more soaked if that is possible.

The last 24 hours it has been raining 39 mm. That equals 39 cm snow, for those who are interested.

But now it is said to be better, for those who believes in weather forecasts......

Sun and rain

It has been great week. Mixed weather, good temperature for walking, nice tours and good company. We have just had a nice day out walking from Doralseter to Straumbu, 23km with some spectacular views of the high peaks of Rondane.
The weather will pretty much remain the same for the next week too, rainshowers, sun, clouds and temperature between 7-15 Celsius. I will be out for a few weeks, but we try to maintain the site, so please check it out.

Saturday

End of an interesting week. We have managed to test our waterproof gears and spent several quality days in norwegian weather. Sunshine, clouds, rain, snow, wind were all on our menu (see pictures above from Muen area).

Now we are back on partly cloudy, calm days for a short period. Temperature is between 7-12 Celsius.
