Probably the most famous Norwegian National Park, a spectacular massive of high peaks, glaciers and deep valleys of such beauty that it is difficult to explain in words. It hosts 90% of the highest mountains in Norway, reaching 2000 m.a.s, including the highest: Galdhøpiggen (2469 m.a.s).
The Besseggen Mountain, also located in the Jotunheimen, is one of the top natural attractions in Norway! Most people take the boat "Gjendebåten" to the end of the Gjende Lake, and hike their way back. This landmark is only 34 kms away from us!
