The Pole Hunt
Join the popular 'Stolpejakten' (The Pole Hunt)! This free and accessible activity aims to engage both young and old, regardless of physical ability.
The pole hunt is about finding poles that are placed in the surrounding area in the mountain village. Some in central areas and some further into the mountains. The goal is to facilitate the activation of both young and old, regardless of functional ability. This year we will offer 2 different maps with a total of 110 poles in our area.
Map "Tyinkrysset" with 60 posts – start May 29
Map "Tyin-Filefjell" with 50 poles – starting June 21st subject to snow conditions
It is important that you change maps in the Stolpejakten app.
Map
To find the poles, you need a map of the Stolpejakten Tyin–Filefjell. The maps can be downloaded in the Stolpejakten app, where both are located under "Vang – Tyin". Remember to update the pole data in the app for 2026.
How the Pole Hunt works
To register your post visits and be entered into the draw for great prizes, follow these steps:
Using the App
Download the "Stolpejakten" app for free from the App Store or Google Play to your phone, and take your phone with you on the post hunt. Scan the QR codes on the posts you find using the app on your mobile. Behind each QR code, you will find stories, information, and some videos from the area.
