We went on a morning coach tour from a cruise ship in Skjolden. Very steep winding road to the top. It was so very beautiful with lots of snow still on the mountainside. The silence, snow and blue skies took our breath away. Loved it! One of the best trips on our cruise to the Artic Circle.

Spiterstulen Glacier- and Mountainguiding consist of 15 hand-picked guides, ranging from 18 to 65 years. Most of us educated and formed through the highly traditional and experienced Spiterstulen Guiding community. Alltogheter, we have gained more than hundred years of experience of guiding in the area, and tousands trips to glacier and peaks in the area around Galdhøpiggen. The local attatchment, love for the mountains and detailed knowledge of the different routes around in the area are some of our values when guiding. Our philosophy is that the young, recently educated guides should be taken under the wings of the older, experienced guides. This ensuring that we pass on the knowledge and the experience that we have gained through genrations of mountainguiding at Spiterstulen. We enjoy beeing out, either ascending the peaks, historic walks along the valley, taking children exploring or playing. Our experience is that rain and wind can give just as great adventure as sun and blue skies! Join us on one our trips, and we will give you an adventure!

Galdhopiggen

Galdhopiggen is the highest mountain in Norway, 2.469 m.a.s.l. It is also one of the most visited peaks in the country, apart from some hills in more densely populated areas. The hight is fascinating, and Galdhopiggen is also relatively easy to reach. You can follow the normal t-marked route from Spiterstulen 1.103 m.a.s.l., four hours to the top, two and a half- three hours back down.

First, this is a spectacular hike to Norway’s and Northern Europe’s highest summit, up in Jotunheimen. It is only advisable in June-August and you can choose between two starting points: Spiterstulen and Juvasshytta. The latter is the most used and most accessible. But it is not for everyone, you need to be prepared for up to seven hours in quite rough mountain terrain. We stayed in Lom, five hours from Oslo with train to Otta and then one hour’s corresponding bus ride. There’s a fairly cheap camping there offering rooms from $80/£60 (suitable for families up to six persons) and some nice hotels. For hotels, book early! You can also stay at the starting point for the hike, Juvasshytta, but it is very full in high season, particularly in the weekends. We therefore took an 8am bus to Juvasshytta at 1860 meters altitude, where you arrive just before 9am. The place offers guided tours starting 09:45, which really only means a Sherpa or local mountaineer will walk with large groups to cross a glacier, and then you’re on your own for the last hour’s walk. It’s tough and steep, if you lack proper boots you can rent them from the Juvasshytta, but book your size a day in advance (European scale, 36-47). The trip is $30 per adult including the lending of a simple harness for the crossing of the glacier as well as crampons, boots are another $18. Apart from the glacier, no equipment is required. They say the minimum age for children is seven, but that does not mean it is suitable for exactly your seven year old child. Expect three hours rough walk to the summit and a bit less for the descent to be sure. Moreover, you should avoid coffee and too much liquid as there are no facilities along the route and the surroundings can’t tackle thousands of tourists unless everyone takes good care of the unique and highly vulnerable environment. But the experience is nothing short of fantastic. This far up north, 2469 meters altitude makes for a really special landscape, and there is obviously a spectacular view included... The air is not so thin that it requires physical preparations or anything, you will meet people in every age 6-80 and the low price makes it something everyone can do, provided you are not scared by the prospect of five to seven hours’ hikes. The bus to Lom leaves from Juvasshytta at 17:00 as of September 2018.
