BEST HIKE IN NORWAY ? - BESSEGGEN | twoplustwocrew
We walked the famous Besseggen Walk in Norway.... stunning no wonder it's one of National Geographics top 20 hikes. Long day but definitely a great family experience.
We were staying at nearby Beitostolen and drove 20 mins to catch the early morning ferry (7.45am) to the mid way point of the walk and walk back the carpark.
So you either catch the ferry in or catch the ferry back as the walk takes 5 to 8 hours depending on your group. As we had small children in our group we wanted it to be quite relaxing and stop for plenty of meal breaks. It took us 7.5 hours.
TripAdvisor Jackiedan says and I agree:
This is one outstanding hike. There are several ways to do it depending on how long you wish to walk, whether you wish to camp etc...
If you have two days to spare and wish to do a fair amount of walking, i would suggest the following:
Day 1:
Arrive at Gjendesheim (by rental car if you have one) in the mid morning. Leave the car and take a small back pack with food, warm clothes and anything needed for 1 night away. Follow the signposted routes up the mountain. You will start walking uphill immediately. The uphill lasts for around 2 or 3 hours. Once at the top, you walk flat until going back down again. The views are outstanding. Follow signs for Memurubu which is where you'll spend the evening. It is a fairly large tourist hut which provides an evening meal (very substantial and hearty) and breakfast. The whole walk from Gjendesheim to Memurubu will take between 6 and 8 hours.
Day 2:
You can either take the boat back from Memurubu to Gjendesheim, walk back the way you came or walk along the shores of the lake. We chose the latter. It takes about 3 or 4 hours and is a mostly flat, simple path. It is extremely picturesque!
