About location

Built around lakeside mountain lodgings, Tyinholmen grew into a practical highland base beside Lake Tyin on the edge of Jotunheimen. The settlement lies where County Road 53 meets routes leading into Koldedalen, a broad valley enclosed by bare mountain slopes. This is an unurbanised part of Norway: a compact cluster of timber buildings, parking areas and services set amid open upland terrain. Lake Tyin is a regulated reservoir, giving the shoreline a working mountain character rather than the atmosphere of a conventional resort. Tyinholmen serves hikers and road travellers crossing between eastern Norway and Årdal, while the surrounding valleys lead towards Jotunheimen’s renowned mountain country.
