Five magnificent days hiking, some steep climbing, plenty of Norwegian kilometres [we’re certain a Norge km is more than a UK km! 😁] Jotunheimen National Park is outstandingly beautiful! 🇳🇴❤️

Trail Days
Distance: 65km [approx]

🥾⛺️ Day 1. Spiterstulen to Leirvassbu. (Approx 15 km)

🥾⛺️ Day 2. Leirvassbu to Waterfall Camp. (Approx 9.5 km)

🥾⛺️ Day 3. Waterfall Camp to Gjhendbu. (Approx 10 km)

🥾⛺️ Day 4. Gjhendbu to Memurubu. (Approx 11 km). We took the trip over Bukkelægret to Memurubu. Very steep and quite exposed 500m ascent, but superb 👌

🥾⛺️ Day 5. Memurubu to Gjendesheim/Campsite (Approx 17 km). The Besseggen Ridge is one of Norway's most famous mountain hikes. Each year, around 60,000 hikers give it a bash. The ridge is both windy, steep and narrow in places. Super fun!

Hiking Season
The hiking season for doing Besseggen is from mid-June to mid-October, when the boats run regularly on Gjende lake. Peak season is in July and the first half of August, so try to plan your hike before or after then to avoid the crowds.
