Ridge-to-Ridge Ascents: Falketind (2067) and Stølsnostind (2074) from Tyinkrysset.
From the high valleys around Tyinkrysset, this full-day guided route climbs steep ground and glacier to reach two of the range's most commanding summits: Falketind and the slightly higher Stølsnostind. Operated by Jostedalen Breførarlag in collaboration with the hosts at Fondsbu (DNT) and guided by certified mountain and glacier guides, the outing combines long alpine approaches, technical glacier sections, and expansive high-mountain views.
