Walking towards the Skogadalsboen hut.
  On the Besseggen ridge, with Lake Gjende below    Jotunheimen Tour

The buildings of Memurubu on Lake Gjende.



The big sky from the Besseggen ridge. The two bodies of water below are not connected, and one of them is much higher than the other!



The road to Spiterstulen. Cars and buses take this route up the hut, and the popular starting point for Galdhøpiggen, Norway's highest mountain.
  Lake Gjende from Gjendesheim    Jotunheimen Tour

In descent from Glittertind, Norway's second-highest mountain and crossed by our Jotunheimen Tour.



A mountainous view from Glittertind's summit. This is a permanent (year-round) snowfield and requires particular care.
