Tyin-Koldedalen
A bike tour along Tyin and into Koldedalen offers close encounters with large lakes, rushing rivers, and the grand peaks of Jotunheimen – with good opportunities for lunch, waffles, and baked goods along the way.
About the trip
This tour is in relatively easy cycling terrain, starting from Tyinkrysset or Tyin. You choose how long you want to make it.
From Filefjellstuene/Tyinkrysset, cycle county road 53 towards Tyin/Årdal, and turn right after the top of the hills – by the apartment building at the southern end of Tyin. Parking is also available here if you wish to drive up. From here, it's about 20 km on a nice gravel road to Fondsbu/Eidsbugarden and the mountain lake Bygdin. At the DNT cabin Fondsbu, baked goods, lunch, and dinner are served. Cycle back the same way.
Another option is to include a trip to the mighty Koldedalen, where you get visual close-up views of Falketind (2068 masl). The road here is a construction road, so you should have relatively robust tires to avoid punctures. On the way back from Koldedalen, a stop at the Tyinholmen tourist cabin for fresh waffles is recommended.
