ヨートゥンヘイムのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Most people will walk from the parking lot 🅿️ to the boat and then back. But please be aware of the weather and the length of the tour. If you go up here early and take the boat back, you'll have covered half the elevation gain after a third of the way and will be able to better assess the rest, AND you'll have the high mountains ahead of you. If there's a threat of thunderstorms or bad weather in the afternoon, the schedule won't limit you.

At the end of the valley begins the strenuous but recommendable climb to the summit of Surtningssue mountain.

A beautiful, spacious, and comfortable cabin. The cabin can be reached either by boat or via the hiking trail that runs north of Lake Gjende from the eastern to the western end of the lake. From the cabin, you can take a day hike to the summit of Surtningssue Mountain.

Sturdy footwear is highly recommended. This is a long hike, so bring plenty of clothing and provisions.

The accommodation is close to the boat dock; a crossroads for a day trip into the valley (easy). You can take the boat there and back, or, like many others, start your tour over the Besseggen Ridge (see there).

Knutshøe is a similarly challenging alternative to Besseggen. The view is no less spectacular. Nevertheless, Knutshøe is worth a visit and can easily be hiked in a day from the Gjendesheim hut.

A recommended stopover for a hut-hopping tour through Jotunheimen National Park. Several other huts are easily accessible within a day's hike.

With a trekking backpack, the descent section should not be underestimated. You'll have to backclimb over rocks several times, or abseil down. Steel ropes are available wherever necessary. However, with a good level of fitness, this is no problem.
