Overview Program Accommodation Map Prices & Dates Information

From Fondsbu to Gjendesheim, via the historic lodges Torfinnsbu, Gjendebu and Memurubu, you follow in the footsteps of some of the most prominent personalities in Norwegian mountain history. In this area, several pioneers in outdoor life, mountaineering, literature and music have been inspired and left their own marks. Some of these trails were the first to be maintained by The Norwegian Trekking Association. And the cairn that marks the descent to Besseggen from Veslefjell was the very first to be marked with red paint so that it would be easier to follow the trail even in foggy conditions.

On this hike you will experience more than just the beauty of the surroundings. You will travel back in time and immerse yourself in stories of mountain life, mountaineering, literature and music through stories, texts, music and nature's embrace.
