Показать описание
The narrow and steep path up the Besseggen Ridge in Norway can take your breath away. So can the view from the top.

The hike takes 6-8 hours including breaks. It's recommended for experienced hikers, or with a guide. The ridge is steep and can be windy. If you are planning you first mountain hike, it might be a good idea to choose an easier alternative than Besseggen or join a guided trip.

WHAT TO PACK?

HOW TO GET THERE
There are two options for getting to Besseggen. You can either start hiking from the Gjendesheim tourist lodge or take the boat from Gjendesheim to Memurubu and start your hike from there. The latter is the easiest route. To ensure you get on the boat, it is wise to reserve tickets in advance. You can stay overnight at Gjendesheim or Memurubu, and start the day fresh and fit the next morning.

Phenomenal hike. Physically demanding, mentally exhilarating. It is an intense section on the steep ridge, and pretty trippy visually.

This was a hike to remember. One of the first proper hikes I ever did, so suitable for beginners.

I was on July 1, 2023 on Besseggen and made my way back from the ridge. I'm amazed how the Besseggen staff couldn't install a ladder or a chain or rope for the ridge since it's not safe for climbing. When you get in front of the ridge, then you will really realize it and you will weigh the words in my comment.
