Uranostind
We start the trip with a good breakfast on Tyinholmen before cycling or taking the car into the construction road in Koldedalen. There you walk in easy terrain on 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 of large parts of Jotunheimen. 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.

Pioneer route to Falketind
Falketind 2067 m.a.s.l
We start the trip with a good breakfast on Tyinholmen before cycling or taking the car into the construction road in Koldedalen.
The organized guide tours from Tyinholmen today follow the same route that the first climbers used in 1820. Today, it is the recommended route for those who want to climb Falketind because there is a great danger of falling rocks on the "Normal route". The tour goes straight up from Koldedalshytta at the end of the road in Koldedalen and onto 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.
