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.

Up for a trip far into the ice? Enter the glacier in this hand caved ice tunnel by the foot of Galdhøpiggen. Filled with ice sculptures inspired by Norse mythology. A qualified guide will tell you about permafrost, faun, animals living in the highland and the ancient artifacts found in this area going back to the stone age. Arrows, shoes and hunting equipent – melted out from snow drifts in Jotunheimen – are displayed in the ice walls. The ice tunnel also has a cinema hall where you can see a movie of the making of the tunnel. The trip starts at the parking lot by Juvasshytta right next to Galdhøpiggen, and follows a kilometer-long footbridge to the ice tunnel. The tour is accessible for most people and nice for children in school age. After your visit in the ice tunnel, you can take a close look at the Juvbrean glacier. Dress warmly and get an experience for life!

7. Galdhopiggen
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 175 reviews
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.

The Besseggen ridge is one of the most famous hikes in Norway, Jotunheimen National Park.
Reviewed By SolidBison
Wonderful views. Spectacular hike. The hike from Memrubu to "Bandet" and the Besseggen climb are the best part. The last 5 km downhill walking is a bit boring. It is best to do the hike from Membrubu to Gjendesheim. That way you climb up the narrow, steep Besseggen. Not down. Would not take this hike in bad weather. There is no fun to do this if you can not enjoy the views. The hike is long (14km) and high (1100 meters), so you sould be in normal or better shape. Expect to use 6 to 9 hours including breaks. Use good hiking shoes. Jogging shoes are not reccomended.
