From Bygdin: Hike and Dine in Jotunheimen Tour
Valdres, NorwayThis round trip over lake Bygdin is a possibility to explore Jotunheimen in an easy way – the nature and local food.
The motorboat M/B Bygdin leaves at 09.05 from Bygdin and will cross in 1 hour and 45 min the lake to Bygdin until you arrive at the western end, where you will departure the boat at Eidsbugarden.
Eidsbugarden is a small village with long tradition – accessible in summer by car on a gravel road and in winter time only on ski or with snowcoaches.
Hiking possibilities are endless around Eidsbugarden. We recommend a hike to “Utsikten” – the View – that will give you a nice view over the region as the name already indicate. The hike takes 2-4 hours and is 6 km long with 410 ascent meters. Just drop into the accommodation Fondsbu DNT beforehand to arrange, when your lunch should be served – before or after your hike. At Fondsbu DNT you can get more help and recommendation for hikes in the region. If you do not want/cannot go to Utsikten, you can also wander around Eidsbugarden.
At 15.30 M/B Bitihorn will depart from Eidsbugarden with you. Enjoy the ride over this big lake with a view over the impressive mountains of Jotunheimen – the home of giants as we say, since they contain the highest summits from Norway.
