Falcon mind
Tyinholmen is the natural starting point for ascents of Falketind. It is only applicable with guidance in the summer season.
The organized guided tours from Tyinholmen today follow the same route that the first climbers used in 1820. The tour goes straight up from Koldedalshytta at the end of the road in Koldedalen and onto Falkebreen.
Crampons and ropes are used on the glacier. From the glacier, you aim for the rock wall, just to the right of the lowest point on the ridge between Falketind and Østre Stølsnostind, where the snow reaches the highest point on the glacier.
The ascent takes place with a combination of splitting/climbing grade 2/3. Safety ropes must be used. The route almost gives itself after the first steep ascent with several fine shelves and alternative paths along a natural line up the side. Once up, follow the last climb up the north ridge to the top of Falketind.
Solid mountain boots and good clothes are important. You can experience all seasons on the trip. Remember plenty of food and drink.
The trip places an emphasis on safety and at a good pace it is estimated to take around 10-12 hours up and down.
The experienced mountain guides bring along crampons, rope and necessary equipment.

Uranostind 2157 m.a.s.l
Starting from Tyinholmen, you have the best starting point for climbing Uranostind, Jotunheimen's most beautiful peak. The trip goes over glaciers. Mountain guide provides crampons, ropes and necessary equipment
From the construction road in Koldedalen, follow the marked path up to the oasis of Uradalsvannet. The river must be stoned. The route is considered to be moderately difficult where you follow the road up towards the glacier on the east side of Tjern 1518, and into the glacier on the right side. The route goes up into the gorge between Uranostinden and Slingsbytinden. From there clockwise all the way to the top of the main peak.
At the top you can enjoy a spectacular view, where large parts of Jotunheimen are accessible. It is very airy in the last few meters to the cairn. Many therefore choose to forgo the last bite.
