About the Eidsbugarden brygge – Torfinnsbu turisthytte crossing
11:30 and 15:30, every day, across nine nautical miles of mountain lake. Eidsbugarden sits at the far western end of Bygdin, and MB Bitihorn works east from there towards Torfinnsbu in 60 minutes.
An hour at nine knots
The pace is what a lake boat with three landings does. Nothing about this route rewards hurry: passengers are walkers moving between huts, and the timetable is set by the circuit rather than by demand at either end.
Two boats, twelve weeks
The season runs 26 June to 13 September 2026. Within it both sailings operate every day, which makes this the more dependable half of the Bygdin timetable — there is no calendar to check, only two hours to choose between.
Where the road ends
Eidsbugarden is reached by a mountain road that closes for much of the year. Once you are there, the boat is how the rest of the lake opens up.
