We drove for about 1.5 hours from Gjendesheim to Juvasshytta where the start of the hike to Galdhøpiggen begins. We were first greeted by a nice toll payment and then hairpin bends up to the tourist hut. It was to be a 3 hour hike up and 2.5 hours down.
This was the sight that we were greeted by when we got to Juvasshytta. Looked way more amazing than my picture gave credit for.
And then here goes. We hiked through 400m of a plain of loose rocks.
Then started a slight uphill of ice.
After conquering the first little climb. This was about 30 min.
Another climb this time up loose rocks.
And then we took a break. The view from our breakpoint.
And this was what was in for us next. Walking along the glacier chained to each other on ropes.
After conquering the glacier.
The climb ahead to the tourist hut atop Galdøpiggen.
The view from the peak. A range of snowcapped moutains.
On our way down we saw reindeers. We just had some one month ago. These adorable little things are super yummy. *guilty grin*
Almos there. Getting to the rocky bits again.
And back. Had to show this side of the view as it is just as breathtaking.
