Bygdin
A long lake in the high mountains on the southern edge of Jotunheimen. In summer you can cross the lake on one of Norway's highest-altitude passenger boats.
Lake Bygdin lies at about 1,057 metres and is about 25 km long. In summer the boat Bygdin sails between the Bygdin mountain lodge in the east and Eidsbugarden at the western end. You can take the boat and then walk back, or continue to another lodge. The northern shore is lined with snowy peaks. The views are wider than at Lake Gjende, and there are fewer visitors. The eastern shore pier can be reached by turning off the Valdresflye Road.
