Introduction
Storsåta/Nukane are together with the Veten/Høgstefjellet/ Tellevikafjellet/Nordgardsfjellet mountains, the closest mountain available to the people living in and around Åsane.
Moreover, Storsåta is the initial high point on the ridge from Rolland to the Vikinghytten hut, also known as Vardegga.
A number of trails lead up to Storsåta, but the main trail starts at Rolland in Åsane.

Trip Report Feb 24 2002: Ain't it typical. On Ulriken, just over the "hill", the sun had been shining all day. Here I was on Storsåta summit, watching the third heavy snowfall whipping over the mountain, since I left the trailhead. The snowfall even carried thunder and lightning, giving the hike some edge to it. And I could tell I was the first hiker since the last snow came along, as I was plowing snow up to the knees. No trail for a small dog. Backpack time again for him. However, I was blessed with 10 sunny minutes on top of Storsåta, allowing me to take some nice pictures. It was not in the cards to proceed on the ridge that day. Instead, I drove to the city and enjoyed a nice hike in sunny weather up Ulriken. And the trail was already broken, so Troll could get his "daily" excercise. |
