Jotunheimen is known as the "home of the giants", nestled cozily in the middle of Norway's wilderness. Hiking in this region means passing snow-capped peaks and glaciers, and hiking trails that lead through lakes, rivers and swamps. As you go, you can follow the well-built signposts advertising the countless routes through Scandinavia's highest national park — and you'll experience something special. And even though you might get your feet wet every now and then, it simply means that you never have to worry about your water supply. So you can experience the best this region has to offer, this roundtrip leads you through this Nordic wilderness in five stages.

    Hello josch,

    

    every day on the tour there is a hut where you can spend the night. To spend all days without a tent you can stop on the first tour in the hut Memurubu.

    

    Best regards

    Philip
