Introduction
Bjørnanosi is a mountain top close to Vassdalen, high above Jostedalen. The mountain top is not very often visited and is fairly anonymous - given the mighty mountains towering high above, reaching twice its height. A good path takes you from Gardshaug to Vassdalsvatnet (736m), and from here you have to go off-trail in order to reach the top. This is the route described on this page.
If you want a really long hike, you can continue across Vassdalsfjellet (1656m) and Breakulen (1678m) and descend via Liadøla and Liastølen.
