Utladalen & Jotunheimen
Norway’s highest mountains — glacier ridges, deep valleys and the two peaks above 2,400 metres.
The high country
Jotunheimen holds the highest ground in Northern Europe: Galdhøpiggen at 2,469 metres and Glittertind just below it, with more than two hundred peaks above two thousand. The Hurrungane range in the west is the sharpest of it — Store Skagastølstind is a climb, not a walk.
Utladalen runs into the range from Øvre Årdal, a deep valley with Vettisfossen, one of the highest unregulated waterfalls in Norway, at its head. The Besseggen ridge above Gjende is the classic day walk, and it earns its reputation.
