Jotunheimen på én dag!

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

Motorbåten M/B Bygdin går kl. 09.05 fra Bygdin og krysser på 1 time og 45 min innsjøen til Bygdin til du kommer til vestenden, hvor du går av båten på Eidsbugarden.

Eidsbugarden er et lite tettsted med lange tradisjoner – tilgjengelig om sommeren på 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 regionen som navnet allerede indikerer. Turen tar 2-4 timer og er 6 km lang med 410 stigningsmeter. Det er bare å stikke innom overnattingsstedet Fondsbu DNT på forhånd for å avtale når lunsjen skal serveres – før eller etter turen. På Fondsbu DNT kan du få mer hjelp og anbefaling for turer i regionen. 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 fra 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.
