Tysso: Hotels and things to do nearby

If you’re looking for a hotel in Tysso, you can plan your stay around things to do nearby. The route to Høgafjellet combines a 7–8-hour round trip with views over the Osterfjord and the history of the Tyssebotnen farmstead. Tøsse Mølle, Tøsse Brygghus, visits to Osterøy Ysteri, and the annual Tyssemarknad offer different experiences. This makes it possible to factor hiking time, seasonal offerings, and event dates into your trip planning.

Hike to Høgafjellet: duration, route, and history

The route to Høgafjellet starts at the car park by Osvatnet. Allow 7–8 hours for the round trip, which means it takes up a large part of the day. This time estimate is for the round trip, not just the ascent. As access information may change, check the starting point again before your hike.

In places, the path runs close to the cliff edge. From there, you can look west towards the Osterfjord. The route also passes the farmstead of the Tyssebotnen mountain farm. People lived there from 1664 to 1957. The farmstead’s history adds a historical dimension to the landscape views; the dates refer to the period when people lived there.

Mill and brewery nearby

Tøsse Mølle was founded in 1866 and produces handmade oat flakes. Its founding year and a product it makes today offer two different points of interest for travellers interested in local production: the business’s history and its products.

A tasting at Tøsse Brygghus includes a tasting board with four different types of beer, served with cured meat from a goat farm in the Tyssefjella. Tours of the brewery in Tyssebotn can be booked. They are available on request for groups of six or more. Confirm the details with the operator before your visit, as booking information may change.

Visits and events

Osterøy Ysteri welcomes guests for tours of the dairy and farm stable. Visits to the summer farm in the mountains of Tyssebotn, where the animals stay during the summer, are also possible. As visits to the summer farm are seasonal, confirm availability before your trip.

Tyssemarknad takes place every year at Tyssekaien. The market features stalls, food sales, and activities for all ages. If you’d like to include the market in your trip plans, check the exact event date in advance.
