Geiterygghytta, located at 1,224 meters, is where the majestic landscapes of Western Norway meet the high mountains of the east. It’s the heart of Skarvheimen, serving as a gateway to Hallingskarvet National Park and the wild, beautiful Aurlandsdalen. Perfect for exploring both rugged and serene terrain.

Aurlandsdalen Turisthytte
Aurlandsdalen Turisthytte, nestled in the heart of Aurlandsdalen, has been welcoming guests since 1894.

From here, hikers can embark on unforgettable journeys through Norway’s most iconic and breathtaking scenery.

Gudvangen
Gudvangen Fjordtell is a charming hotel in Gudvangen. Set in a historic Viking village, Gudvangen offers access to the stunning UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord and a wide range of activities and attractions for all ages and interests, surrounded by breathtaking fjord landscapes.

Full-service lodge
The restaurant serves meals made with local ingredients. Breakfast is a buffet where you can also prepare a packed lunch for the day. Thermos refills are available, so check with the accommodation. Dinner is served in the afternoon or evening.

The trails on this hike are typical Norwegian single tracks, often rocky and requiring you to cross small streams. There are muddy sections that require careful attention. Further down in Aurlandsdalen, some trails are exposed, with chains provided for safety, though alternative routes are available to avoid these areas. Be prepared for demanding terrain and significant descents, which can be harder on your knees and muscles than ascents. Hiking poles and sturdy, waterproof hiking boots are strongly recommended.
