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 to register post visits
