    Hiking

    The Bessvatnet is one of the many lakes that make up Jotunheimen National Park.

    It is separated from its big brother, Lake Gjende, by a small rocky ledge, part of Besseggen.

    This lake, much less frequented than the others, is nevertheless no less pleasant. A nice break on his strikes is always welcome!

    Hiking

    The unmarked trail along the north side to the southwest end leads in the last quarter over several scree fields. Here is usually no way recognizable.

    Hiking

    Great views not far from the famous and overflowing Beseggen. Definitely worth a hike!
