THE classic ridge hike in Jotunheimen: a landscape delight, quite easy and combined with boat outbound or return. But this is also a long route that is heavily crowded. Because of the view, the route is worthwhile despite many fellow hikers.

    This is one of the best hikes we did in Norway! It has everything: amazing views, a nice challenge, some scrambling... We hiked in the opposite direction: took the 9:30 boat and hiked back to base. NOTES: (1) book the boat tickets in advance. It can get busy. (2) You cannot park near the boat ramp; you park 2km away and take the shuttle out walk. take this into account when planning the hike (3) There is a quite long and very steep part where Troy use you hand to climb. Be warned.

    First 2km little steep through a wood path, then you are on the ridge an have a very very nice view left and right. Valleys and waterfall and later on the top you got nice view to the glaciers.

    very exciting route, with great panorama all the way. the last 250m altitude shouldn't be underestimated (photo). Our knee-high dog was keeping up, but it was challenging for him to go up the cree. Also downwards later on. The very last part to the summit looked too steep and risky for us with a dog, but we still had a great panorama view from there. The first part of the route was definitely easy, but the part from the photo we would consider as "medium" to "hard medium" level.

    Anstrengende Tour mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht. Haben mit vielen Pausen (der Kinder wegen) ca. 8h gebraucht und wurden bei Kaiserwetter mit wundervollen Bildern belohnt. Dies Tour ist echt die schönste und zugleich anstrengendste, die wir bisher in Norwegen gemacht haben. Gerne wieder!

    Wir haben die Tour Anfang Juni bei strahlendem Sonnenschein gemacht - es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall! Die Strecke ist an sich unproblematisch, allerdings haben wir beim beschriebenen steilen Aufstieg vom See aus die Hände doch des häufigere zum Klettern gebraucht. Für diesen unangenehmeren Teil wird man allerdings mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht belohnt. Auf dem Grat ist uns sogar ein einzelnes Rentier, das wohl seiner Herde entlaufen ist, begegnet. Da die Tour doch recht überlaufen ist, ein kleiner Tipp: Anfang Juni fährt nur ein Schiff pro Tag - dementsprechend kann man dieses gut nutzen um nach Memurubu zu fahren. Wenn man nun ein etwas höheres Tempo vorlegt, hat man bei allen Pausen den Grat quasi für sich allein, kann Fotos machen und in Ruhe sein Vesper genießen. Obwohl wir nicht unangenehm schnell gelaufen sind (5:15 h für die Strecke), haben wir lediglich 2 Gruppen auf der Strecke gehabt, gegen Ende kamen uns noch ein paar Trekker entgegen, welche die Tour aus Gjendsheim gelaufen sind.
