Mefjellet
(Click for larger image) Introduction
Mefjellet is located above
Fjøra by Norddalsfjorden, just east of Sylte (Valldal). The
mountain is very accessible thanks to the road up to Hauge (400m,
signposted Selbostad) and a tractor road up to Nysætra (750m).
From Nysætra, the distance to the summit is only 1,2km.
From Mefjellet, you can also do a
round trip via Bjørstadnakken (965m). The summit offers a
great view
towards the peaks west of Valldalen and the mountains across Norddalsfjorden.
You can also see many of the major peaks in Sunnmørsalpane, like Slogen,
Smørskredtindane and Brekketindane.

has a primary factor of 190m
towards the higher parent mountain Blåfjellet (1575m).
