 On the ascent of Galdhopiggen ( 2469m, 8100ft ) Galdhøpiggen
is the highest mountain
in Norway.
It is located within the municipality of Lom in Oppland in the Jotunheimen mountain area. The ascent of Galdhøpiggen is not technically difficult. From Juvasshytta ( 1850 metres above sea level ) it takes about three hours up, including some 45 minutes crossing the Styggebreen glacier, time at the summit and about two hours for the descent. Galdhøpiggen
can also be reached from the Spiterstulen Lodge in Visdalen, with an easy but strenuous climb of 1300 metres ( some 4000ft ). From
Spiterstulen, hikers do not have to cross the Styggebreen glacier, and a guide is not required. |
