Uranostind on skis

Tyinholmen can offer fantastic top touring terrain with unique skiing experiences for randonees and mountain skiing enthusiasts. In collaboration with Jotunheimen event, this year we offer trips to Uranostind from Tyinholmen and open guided tours with experienced guides.

Top trip to Uranostind at Easter

28 and 29 March we arrange guided tours to one of Jotunheimen's most beautiful peaks, Uranostind. After a hearty breakfast, we strap on our skis and start the approach with a steady climb up towards the glacier. Before the main summit, it may be a good idea to put down your skis before the airy summit with a spectacular view over the whole of West Jotunheimen. Then follows a long return trip with a descent to Tyinholmen, where a three-course dinner awaits! Estimated time 8 hours.

If the weather does not permit a summit trip to Uranostind, we conduct guided tours to alternative peaks such as Langskavlen, Koldedalsbreene or Skinneggen, depending on the weather and road conditions.
Price NOK 1 for guests, others NOK 200 Full 1 March, only a few places on 800 March!

Top tour weekend 26-28 April
On the last weekend in April, we invite you to a top hiking weekend with a guided trip to Uranostind as the highlight. Suitable for both mountain skiing and Randonne enthusiasts. We must of course adapt the program to the weather, but we promise great skiing experiences under safe conditions with experienced guides.

The guided tour to Uranostind is fully booked, but cabins and rooms are still available.

Summer guide to Falketind and Uranostind

Pioneer route to Falketind

Tyinholmen is the natural starting point for ascents of Falketind.

Falketind 2067 m.a.s.l

The organized hikes from Tyinholmen today follow the same path as the first climbers did in 1820. The route goes straight from Koldedalshytta at the end of the road in Koldedalen and to Snøggeken (Falkebreen).

On the glacier, rods and ropes are used. Towards the wall you hit for the lowest point on the mountain ridge between Falketind and Østre Stølsnostind, where the snow reaches the highest on the glacier.

The ascent is relatively quick, with a combination of splitting/climbing at grade 2/3 - a safety rope must be used. The route almost gives itself after the first steep ascent with several nice shelves and alternative paths along a natural line up the side. At the top of the wall there is usually a scree that must be crossed, normally without major challenges. Once up, it's fine to follow the last climb up the north ridge to the top of Falketind.

Put on sold solid mountain boots, good attire - you can experience all seasons on the trip! Remember to bring plenty of food and drink.

The trip emphasizes safety and a pleasant pace and calculates around 10 - 12 hours up and down.

The experienced mountain guides bring along crampons, rope and necessary equipment.

Uranostind

Uranostind 2157 mas from Rusteggen

Starting from Tyinholmen, you have the best starting point for climbing Uranostind.

From the road in Koldedalen you walk in easy terrain on the marked path up to Uradalsvatnet. The river needs to be crossed on the rocks. The route is considered to be medium challenging following the route up towards the glacier on the eastern side of the pond 1518, across the glacier on the right. The route goes up the gap between the Uranostinden and the Slingsbytinden. From there, following rocks and scree straight to the main peak.
At the top you can enjoy a spectacular view, where large parts of Jotunheimen are accessible. It is very windy in the last few meters to the cairn - many therefore choose to forgo the last bit.

Put on sold solid mountain boots, good attire - you can experience all seasons on the trip! Remember to bring plenty of food and drink.

The trip focus on safety and a sympathetic pace and calculates about 9-10 hours up and down.

The experienced mountain guides bring along crampons, rope and necessary equipment.

Summer in the high mountains 2024

Summer in the mountain home offers unique experiences for all the senses. The smell of fresh heather, the feeling of warm sun against bare skin, rain or sleet, the sound of roaring waterfalls, the taste of fresh water and the sight of majestic peaks, green mountain sides, blue glaciers, green mountain lakes, eternal snow and rich floral flora. 

Sommerfjellet also offers an adrenaline rush on steep mountain sides, airy traverses and over cracked glaciers, a feeling of mastery when the summit is reached or the many kilometers covered, quiet walks on rugged paths, cycling or fishing. You can experience all of this from Tyinholmen. 

You can choose between staying in affordable cabins, rooms or apartments. We serve home-cooked food and have all rights. In the summer, there is a drive right to the door or you can take the bus that stops in our yard.
