 Galdhøpiggen is the highest mountain in Norway, at
2,469 metres above sea level. It is located within the municipality of Lom in Oppland in the Jotunheimen mountain area. Access to the top of Galdhøpiggen is not especially hard: four hours walk up, two hours down; from Juvasshytta ( 1850 metres above sea level ) it takes about three hours up ( including about 45 minutes for crossing the Styggebreen glacier ), an hour at the top and about two hours back. Galdhøpiggen can also be hiked from the Spiterstulen lodge in Visdalen, with a technically very easy, but somewhat strenuous climb of 1300 metres - nearly 4000 ft. From Spiterstulen, hikers do not have to cross the Styggebreen glacier, and a guide is not required. |
