Hike to Tysnessåta – a top nature experience
From Myrdal Farm, several scenic hiking trails await. The most popular is the route to Tysnessåta, the highest peak on Tysnes (753 meters above sea level). The hike takes about 1.5 hours from the farm. At the summit, enjoy breathtaking views of Bjørnafjorden, the North Sea to the west, and the Folgefonna Glacier to the east.
With the new Sherpa-built trail (completed in 2024), which covers 75% of the route, the hike is more accessible—but sturdy hiking shoes are still essential.
