What to expect?
Your adventure begins at 09.05 when you board the motorboat M/B Bygdin at Bygdin. The boat will take you on a 1 hour and 45 min journey to the western end of the lake, where you will get off at Eidsbugarden.
Eidsbugarden is a quaint village with a long history. It is only accessible by car on a gravel road in summer, and by ski or snowcoach in winter. From here, you have many hiking options to choose from. One of them is to go to “Utsikten” – the View – which offers a stunning panorama of the region.
The hike is 6 km long and takes 2-4 hours, with an elevation gain of 410 meters. You can stop by the accommodation Fondsbu DNT before you start your hike and let them know when you want your lunch to be ready – either before or after your hike. They can also give you more tips and advice for hiking in the area. If you prefer a shorter or easier walk, you can also explore the surroundings of Eidsbugarden.
At 15.30, you will board the motorboat M/B Bitihorn at Eidsbugarden and return to Bygdin. Relax and enjoy the views of the majestic mountains of Jotunheimen – the home of the giants, as they are called, because they have the highest peaks in Norway.
