Majestetiske Østre Torfinnstind

Østre Torfinnstind eller “Østlige Torfinnstind” er den høyeste av Torfinnstindenes tre topper. På 2119 meter over havet stiger den majestetisk på himmelen bak Torfinnsbu, og kan sees fra de fleste fjell i sørområdet av Jotunheimen. Turen er av det mer utfordrende slaget, og krever at du er ved god fysisk helse. Men når du først når toppen, er turen vel verdt utfordringen. I tillegg til storslått utsikt over de spektakulære omgivelsene; man kan – på en klar dag – se nesten helt til Oslo. Ikke glem å ta med kamera!

For en enda større utfordring tilbyr vi også turer over alle tre Torfinnstind-toppene.

Østre Torfinnstind ligger i den sørlige delen av Jotunheimen, ved bredden av innsjøen Bygdin i Vang kommune. Du kommer deg til området ved å ta M/B Bitihorn fra Bygdin, og hoppe av ved Torfinnsbu.

Turen tar alt fra 3 til 5 timer (pauser ikke inkludert) og kan enkelt gjennomføres som en dagstur. Fra båten legger til ved Torfinnsbu kl 09:50 har du litt over 6,5 timer på deg før du må være tilbake for retur til Bygdin.
