About this hike

Jaspisfjellet - sharp peaks and wild mountain nature in Nord-Skorve
Jaspisfjellet is located behind the striking Hestenutane in Nord-Skorve, and is known for its sharp peaks and dramatic silhouette. The name probably comes from its resemblance to the stone jasper, but there's no jasper here - it's the shape and character of the mountain that gives it its distinctive appearance.

You can hike up to Jaspisfjellet from two sides:
- From the Flatdal side, via Breikvamfjellet, which connects Skorvekammen from the southwest and towards the peaks.
- From Stav i Langlim, where you enter from the north side and get a more direct, but steep and partly unmarked route up to the mountain.

The hike takes you into a wild and open mountain area, where you can continue backwards along the pinnacles if you want a longer hike. The view stretches across Flatdal, Bø and Lifjell in one direction, and on towards Skorve and Seljord in the other.

This is not a marked hiking trail, and you should be used to the mountains, have good footwear and be prepared for rough and partly demanding terrain.

Trail story

Varianter og historie

Varianter og historie

Jasper comes in many shades, often speckled. The base mineral is silicon oxide, but jasper also contains up to 20% of other substances that create the various color combinations. Solid-colored jasper is rare.

The word jasper comes via the Latin iaspis from the Greek ἴασπιÏ', Ãaspis, which originally means "[color] spotted stone". This word in turn derives from an oriental language, perhaps from ancient Egyptian or Persian (yashp).
