Autumn is perhaps the most beautiful time in the high mountains. Clear and high skies, heather in autumn colors, crisp air and a sprinkling of fresh snow on the peaks.

Tyinholmen is open for accommodation in cabins and rooms until September 29th, and we still have cabins and rooms available, both on weekdays and weekends. Here are some tips on what you can bring:

Party night with Tyinaure:

On Saturday, September 12th at 7:00 PM, we invite you to a party evening with Tyinaure on the menu!
Mr Tyin himself, Ole Skogstad, offers, among other things, shaved trout, dug trout, fillet and mousse, all made with the unique aura from Tyin.

NOK 400 per person.
Table reservation by telephone 48 08 27 22 or post@tyinholmen.no

With hiking boots:

The most beautiful mountain hikes can be had in the fall. It is still possible to climb 2000 meter peaks like Uranostind, Falketind or Galdebergtind, but it is perhaps safest to take the family-friendly and not so ambitious hikes, like Utsikten, Torshammeren or Rusteggen.

On a bicycle seat:

At Tyinholmen we provide facilities for cyclists. Here you can have your bike washed, locked up at night, or have your electric bike charged. We are located along the "Mjølkevegen", and the trip along Tyin, not least from the south, is an easy and nice bike ride. Cycling enthusiasts can take the trip up the epic Tusenmeteren from Øvre Årdal, and Koldedalen is one of the finest bike rides you can take in Jotunheimen. See more here: By bike from Tyinholmen

On Tyinholmen:

At Tyinholmen we are open until September 29th. Our guests are welcome for breakfast from 8:00 and dinner at 19:00. We serve homemade food, preferably based on local ingredients. We also have a spacious sauna that we are happy to heat up for our guests after a long day in the mountains. The cafe is open Thursday to Sunday from 13:00 - 16:00 and here you can buy our famous waffles and other baked goods.

In the summer, the surroundings invite you to mountain hikes of all kinds. We offer guiding to the legendary peaks Uranostind and Falketind or other peaks of your choice. Other less ambitious peaks, but which still have fantastic views, are Utsikten and Torshammeren, which most people reach in a two-three hour round trip.

In addition, it is lovely to cycle along Lake Tyin and not least into the beautiful Koldedalen valley. The old road from Tyin to Årdal is also a great cycle ride, with the spectacular so-called 1000-meter as a highlight. It is also nice to push a stroller in the area.

Many people also come to fish for the famous trout in Tyin or to fish in other lakes and rivers. There are plenty of opportunities for this.

But it is the hiking opportunities that attract most guests to us. More information can be found here:

At Tyinholmen we want to provide good facilities for our cycling guests. With us you can wash your bike, borrow tools, charge your bike battery and lock your bike if needed. We also have bike rentals. Many people come to us because they cycle the "Milky Way", but Tyinholmen is also a natural starting point for many other cycling experiences.

The Milky Way: The Telegraph has mentioned the 25-mile long route among the world's 20 best cycling routes. You can come to us either by boat over Bygdin or along Lake Tyinvannet with perhaps the most beautiful view of the route to Falketind and Uranostind.

Koldedalen: From Tyinholmen there is a 9 km long construction road into Koldedalen to the foot of Falketind. From the bike seat you can experience a spectacular high mountain landscape with an impressive view of glaciers, waterfalls, blue-green mountain lakes and several well-known 2000-metre peaks.

Tyinvannet and Kongevegen: The cycle ride along Lake Tyinvannet (approx. 15 km) offers impressive views of the series of peaks inland towards Jotunheimen. From the Tyinkrysset junction, you can follow the Kongevegen road over Filefjell, which has recently been restored. It offers fantastic cycling conditions, especially the stretch between Kyrkjestølen and Maristuen.

"1000 meters": A very popular bike ride is to cycle the old road towards Årdal, also known as the "1000-meter road". Steep ride down, tough ride up. The road goes along the mountainside and starts at about 1000 meters above the valley. It winds in about 40 bends all the way down to the gravel road that meets highway 53, a few kilometers from the center in Øvre Årdal.
