About Tyin Filefjell
For the strong-willed since 1793
Tyin Filefjell is for those who don't give up
Before tunnels, bridges, and highways, there was only one route between east and west: over the mountain.
People had to brave the weather, wind and steep cliffs, but dirt – it was worth the effort! Because if life is a cup of cocoa, the view from Jotunheimen is the cream. The mountain pass between Tyin and Filefjell became one of Norway's first travel and outdoor traditions.
When the King's Road opened in 1793, the route became the nerve between east and west. In 1868, Aasmund Olavsson Vinje built his cabin at Eidsbugarden, and the surrounding mountains became a gathering point for adventurers. You could get here by tracked vehicle or small plane, and the mountain went from being an obstacle to a goal.
A mountain for winter people
Today, Tyin Filefjell is one of the most snow-sure areas in Southern Norway. The winter is long, and the ski center is a natural center of gravity with five lifts, 16 slopes, a large children's area and everything you need in terms of ski rental, ski school and ski service. From the top you can see over 35 peaks over 2000 meters.
Around the ski center, the ski trails are longer than your Instagram feed, from wide tracks in the forest belt to open high mountain trails with views in all directions. You can stay overnight in mountain lodges, apartments or cabins close to nature, where the duvets are as soft as fresh snow and the path from food to the back slope is short.
Summer with high skies
Summer at Tyin Filefjell is bright, with Jotunheimen National Park as its closest neighbor. From here, marked trails, peaks and mountain routes are easily accessible, often with a flock of sheep in tow. Fishing is varied, with large trout in Tyin, trout in small lakes and rivers, and the Lærdalselva a short drive away. Hunting grounds start right outside the door.
Because that's how it is at Tyin Filefjell. You go out, and half an hour later you're standing on top of a mountain. Now we're developing a compact mountain community that will have new ski slopes, more cabin plots, another hotel and architect-designed apartments, with room for strong-willed mountain people in both tailwind and headwind.
Where there's a will, there's a way. Even where the trails end.
