Glacier Hiking and Mountain Hiking in Jotunheimen – an Exciting Summer Adventure for Advanced Folks
For all our adventurers and mountain lovers, we offer a series of multiday- and day trips which take you to the heights of Norway’s roof. Discover airy mountain ridges, magical glaciers and deep valleys, all in the midst of beautiful Jotunheimen National Park. These trips are either guided hikes or self-guided hikes. For the self-guided trips, you only need basic skills, but you should be in very good physical shape.
One of these tours is the legendary Besseggen ridge – the most frequented trail in Norway. This one of a kind ridge stuns with striking views over two lakes and far mountain areas, as well as Jotunheimen’s majestic mountain tops.
Our trips that involve glacier hiking are guided, so that you don’t need any specific knowledge on equipment and technique. Your guide will have you covered and do their best to spend with you an amazing day amongst ancient ice and the impressive high mountain peaks of Jotunheimen.
