Short description of Jotunheimen National Park
Jotunheimen (Jotunheimen National Park) is the heart of Norway’s high mountain landscape and encompasses one of the country’s highest and most alpine regions. The area is home to Norway’s highest peaks, including Galdhøpiggen and Glittertind, and is characterized by glaciers, crystal-clear mountain lakes and broad high valleys. Particularly famous is the spectacular Besseggen Ridge between the contrastingly colored lakes Gjende and Bessvatnet, one of Norway’s most popular hikes. Marked trails, challenging mountain routes and traditional mountain lodges make Jotunheimen a paradise for hikers and mountaineers. The “Home of the Giants” embodies Norway’s rugged, majestic wilderness.
