Jotunheimen på én dag!

Denne rundturen over innsjøen Bygdin, er en mulighet til å utforske Jotunheimen på en enkel måte – naturen og lokalmat.

Motorbåten M/B Bygdin har avgang kl. 09.05 fra Bygdin, og bruker 1 time og 45 min på å nå vestenden av innsjøen ved Eidsbugarden. Her går du av båten.

Eidsbugarden er et lite tettsted med lange tradisjoner – tilgjengelig om sommeren via grusvei og om vinteren bare på ski eller med beltebil.

Turmulighetene er uendelige rundt Eidsbugarden. Vi anbefaler en tur til “Utsikten” som vil gi deg en fin utsikt over området som navnet allerede indikerer. Turen tar 2-4 timer og er 6 km lang med 410 stigningsmeter. Det er bare å stikke innom overnattingsstedet DNT Fondsbu på forhånd for å avtale når lunsjen skal serveres – før eller etter turen. På DNT Fondsbu kan du få mer hjelp og anbefaling for turer i området. Dersom du ikke vil/kan gå til Utsikten, kan du også vandre rundt i Eidsbugarden.

Kl. 15.30 tar du M/B Bitihorn med avgang fra Eidsbugarden. Nyt turen tilbake over denne store innsjøen med utsikt over de imponerende fjellene i Jotunheimen – hjemmet til giganter som vi sier, siden de inneholder de høyeste toppene i Norge.

Trails and weather

The conditions in the autumn are wonderful, but it can also give some challenges. You need to be prepared to walk in the snow in case of snowfall. We have also described alternative routes for the steepest parts if the exposure or conditions makes it uncountable. In September, normal temperature is between 0-10 degrees.

All the paths are well-marked. The terrain varies from flat and easy to rocky and hilly. All the hikes as a short steep, exposed crux where you will have to use both legs and arms. Thou these sections can be avoided by walking an alternative route around.
