This guide describes 10 shorter hut-to-hut treks showcasing
southern Norway's wild natural beauty, with highlights including
Galdhopiggen - Norway's highest peak at 2469m - and the iconic
Pulpit Rock and Kjeragbolten on the Lysefjord. The routes range
from 3 to 8 days (although many can be adapted or combined to
create longer or shorter routes) and cover Jotunheimen, Rondane,
Dovrefjell, Trollheimen and Ryfylke. They are suitable for
experienced hikers with a good level of fitness and can be walked
from mid-July to the end of September. Clear route description and
mapping are provided for each hike. Stages are graded according to
difficulty: although all of the routes follow waymarked trails,
some cross remote and challenging terrain which may include exposed
sections calling for a sure foot and a good head for heights.
However, in many instances, alternatives are provided avoiding the
most demanding sections. The guide also offers comprehensive advice
on public transport access and accommodation options, and
background notes on each of the featured mountain regions. From
narrow ridges to wide glacial valleys and from shimmering fjords to
striking alpine peaks, Norway is home to many awe-inspiring
landscapes. Throw in the warmth and hospitality of the Norwegian
Trekking Association's extensive hut network and you have all the
ingredients of a fantastic adventure. This guide is an ideal
companion to discovering some of Norway's classic shorter hikes and
best-loved mountain landscapes.
