Besseggen, a popular hike in Norway











The walk over Besseggen is one of the most popular mountain hikes in Norway. About 40 000 people walk this trip each year. The most common route over Besseggen starts at Gjendesheim, up to the trails highest point, Veslfjellet (1,743 m), down Besseggen, further over the relatively flat area Bandet (at the foot of Besshø), and ends at Memurubu, where one may take the regularly scheduled ferry route back to Gjendesheim. The trip is estimated to take about 6 hours to walk.

This is very beautiful but looks VERY rugged. A 6 hour walk is a serious walk! Have you walked this?
