This is a trip for you who want to experience the heart of Jotunheimen up close. With normal fitness and basic hiking experience, you get an unforgettable journey through mighty mountains, green valleys and along lakes that reflect the mountain peaks. The trail takes you across Bygdin and onward to some of the area's most classic and historic mountain lodges, places that for centuries have inspired both mountaineers and artists.
The view from the ridge at Sjugurdtinden is a highlight, with Lake Gjende to the east, Memurudalen to the northwest and mountain massifs rising in every direction. It is one of the most beautiful views in all of Jotunheimen. During the trip, Gjendetunga at 1,516 meters above sea level also awaits, perfect for a lunch break with panoramic views. For those who want to, it is also possible to choose the so-called White Route, a five-day hike from Bygdin to Fondsbu.

Level and standard
The hike takes place in mountainous terrain with occasionally long ascents and descents. The days are often 5-7 hours, which requires normal to good fitness and some hiking experience. Sometimes you need to cross rivers and streams, so we recommend sturdy ankle-high hiking boots and hiking poles. One day offers the choice between rest or a more challenging round.
You stay in traditional and historic accommodations with simple 2* standard, characterized by genuine mountain atmosphere and warm hospitality. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included every day, providing both comfort and energy to enjoy the hikes and the surrounding magnificent nature.
