Norwegian Mountains: The National Park Jotunheimen
Jotunheimen .....
About:

Welcome to the largest (and best ? :-) Jotunheimen page on the Internet. As you can see on the map, Jotunheimen is located in the middle of Norway. All mountains that are above 2300 m in Norway, are located here. In Jotunheimen you can find nice hiking paths if you are a beginner, and experienced climbers can find the challenge they're looking for. There are about 35 huts in the area, so you don't need a heavy tent with you
if you want to have a hiking trip in Jotunheimen. If you need maps, information about hiking paths or the huts contact DNT, they will tell you more. I have been here 3 times and it's great.

I had a bicycle trip through Jotunheimen summer 95. (800 km, incl. some hiking) - My trip was great. The weather was very good and I took several nice pictures, so watch out for more pictures. (Some of them are listed now !)
Recommended of course !!!
Recommended starting points: From Turtagrø or Sognefjellshytten (on glacier), hike up to Fanaråken - Skogadalsbøen - Olavsbu - Gjendebu or Leirvassbu. From Gjendbu & Memmurubu & Gjendesheim hike Svartdalspiggen | Bukkelægeret | Surtningshui | Besseggi | Besshøi. From Leirvassbu hike Kyrkja | Visbretind or over to the Krossbu hut on a great glacier with guides. Or hike further to Spiterstulen, then Galdhøpiggen | Glittertind. From the Glittertind hut hike to Memmurubu or Gjendesheim. A nice place to end your Jotunheimen hike is with the mountain hut Gjendesheim. Every day in the hiking season (mid July - September), several busses goes to/(from) Oslo.
