Marked snowshoe trail - YELLOW - Bøastølen
Snowshoe trail through snowy nature to beautiful viewpoints.
Do you want a trip where you keep your snowshoes on from start to finish? Then our yellow snowshoe trail is for you!
Yellow trail is one of our marked snowshoe trails around Filefjellstuene and takes you on a round trip through beautiful forest areas and along Kongevegen, all the way to a viewpoint at Bøastølen.
Start at Filefjellstuene and follow the path towards Grøvstølen. After a short while you will enter beautiful winter scenery with snow-covered trees, frost on the branches, deep snow and great viewpoints. Fill your thermos with something warm and enjoy the peaceful walk.
The trail is clearly marked with yellow plastic markers with reflectors at the top, making it easy to find your way both during the day and when darkness falls. Along the route you cross both alpine trails and cross-country ski trails, so be aware and considerate when crossing these. Remember to follow the markings for the snowshoe trail, and avoid walking on alpine or cross-country ski trails with snowshoes.
For an extra magical experience, we recommend the trip in the evening. On clear nights you can experience a spectacular starry sky here at Tyin Filefjell, which really captures the attention of both young and old.
Good to know about our marked snowshoe trails
Trail maps can be found on Strava. Here are links directly to the various trails:
The trails are marked with solid plastic markers in different colors; green, yellow and red, where green is the easiest and red is the most demanding. All markers have reflectors at the top, which makes it easy to wear a headlamp and enjoy the evening under the open starry sky and moonlight.
The sticks are placed so that you can always see the next one from the previous one, but at higher difficulty levels they also become harder to see.
Please note that it is not marked along roads due to potential conflict with snow plows.
All trails are in natural terrain, along paths and walkways, not on roads. Here you get a real nature experience on foot or on snowshoes.
Some of the trails cross alpine trails and cross-country ski tracks, so be careful when crossing these. Always follow the snowshoe trail markings, and avoid walking on cross-country or alpine trails with snowshoes.
Some of the trails follow parts of Kongevegen, which is also used by skiers. Please be aware and considerate, especially in areas where skiers may be coming at high speed.
You can rent snowshoes, poles and headlamps at the reception at Filefjellstuene. Just drop by, but if you want to be sure that the equipment is available, we recommend that you reserve in advance by sending an email to booking@tyin.no .
