Tips

Kyrkja is one of Jotunheimen's most iconic peaks and it's obvious why when seen from here. The standard way to its pointed summit is the South Ridge, a classic scramble. Leirvassbu, one of the largest DNT huts, is the ideal start point for an adventure to the summit.

This imposing mountain peak (2032m) rises above the valley like a church tower, hence the name.

If it is warm enough, you can also take a bath break here. About in the middle of the lake there are small heather cushions that invite you to sit down.
