Tømmeråsen
From Tømmeråsen, on a clear day you can see all the way to Gaustatoppen, Norefjell and Færder lighthouse!
Tømmeråsen is an easily accessible peak in Ski municipality at 313 meters above sea level and is Ski municipality's highest point. There are great views at the top. The trip takes place in varied and exciting forest terrain.
The tour starts at the Krokhol golf course, if the clubhouse on the golf course is open, this is a nice place to stop for a light snack or a cup of coffee. If you come by car, it will be possible to park here. When you start walking, follow the forest road through the golf course for 300 meters until you see a barrier on the left, and go past it. 150 meters after the barrier, follow a blue marked path to the right. Here the path will gradually rise upwards in a varied forest terrain for one kilometre. First you walk around Svarvestolen, a peak at 271 m. When you have passed a gorge here, you will come to Paddetjern, which has an idyllic rest area, where it is nice to swim in the summer. At the water's edge there is an idyllic bonfire, but remember the bonfire ban 15 April - 15 September and always check for the risk of forest fires. From Paddetjern it is 1.5 km to the viewpoint, the last kilometer will climb steeply up the ridge that makes up Tømmeråsen.
In clear weather at the top you will be able to see all the way to Gaustatoppen and Norefjell. Especially the view to the left is impressive. You will also be able to see all the way to Færder lighthouse outside Tjøme in Vestfold. (You may need to have binoculars for this). It has been arranged with benches, campfires, cairns and other things at the top so it will be possible to take a breather on the ground and enjoy the view. On the return trip on the same way back, you can look back on a great summit trip!
There are many nice paths in the area and it is also possible to arrange a round trip. When you follow the path back along the hill, you can continue the path straight ahead and pass over a bog north of Tretjerna. Just after the marsh, the path meets Høykrokholveien and you turn left and follow the hiking trail for approx. 2.5 km back to the car park.
