JOTUNHEIMEN 2017

Day 1

Starting from Gjendesheim around 16:30 and going in direction of Memurubu. Was expecting it to be an easy 3.5h hike.

Misjudged the difficulty and forced to make a camp near Bjørnbølet

Day 2

Planning to make up for the previous day. And start on Bessegen ridge trail. Camp on a beatiful spot near Bjørnbøltjørni or Bjørnbøltjønne pond (I found two variants of the name).

Day 3

Continuing following Peer Gynt's path. It was a steep hard climb on the ridge, so I was too tired to take any photos.
But here is the look back on day 2 camp spot.

I end the day on unremarkable place near Bessvatnet.

Day 4

Long road to Glitterheim. It was a long 11 hour hike for me.
Side quest sheep

Stream with rust in it. There were many like these in Jotunheimen - streams flowing through iron rich rocks

Russa river

Make it as THICC as you want

I end the day at 1500m near Glittertind and lower Steinbutvatnet

Day 5

Much needed rest day. Healing and recovering from yesterday.

Day 6

Plan for today is to ascend Glittertind(2465m) from east and descend on west.
