In the Mountains of Eltrane

This trail offers a fantastic view towards Ålesund, Nordøyane, and the mountains. On the bridge over the Molværselva River, you will see the goats from “Three Billy Goats Gruff” (Nor. “De tre bukkene Bruse”) carved in wood. After a short climb, you will come to a flat area, Gamlestølen, at about 200 m a.s.l. You will turn off the Vonløypa trail when it takes a sharp turn and go towards Blåfjell. From there, follow the signs to Eltrane.

You will follow a prepared mountain trail, which is partially rocky but mostly easy to walk. There is a small ascent before the trail flattens out towards the Molværselva River and Gamlestølen. Follow the Vonløypa trail as it gradually ascends past the house of Sulanissen, a nisse from Sula. Continue across the bridge over Steinelva. Just under 400 metres after the bridge, the path takes a sharp turn. Turn off the Vonløypa trail and walk towards Blåfjell and the cairn you see in the west. Turn off the path just before the cairn and follow the signs for Eltrane. The path along the north side of Sula is clearly defined all the way to the end of the island.

Park your car by the clubhouse of the Langevåg Sport Association (Langevåg IL), Vasset Outdoor and Sports Park. About 100 metres past the equestrian club, Sula Ridesenter, you will see the sign for the starting point of the Vonløypa trail.
