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.
