Jotunheimen Experience - Accommodation Before and After Included

For an extra bit of adventure and fun, why not start or end the day with a boat trip? You choose whether to take the ferry from Gjendesheim hut to Memurubu (the return point for today's stage) in the morning or in the afternoon from Memurubu to your hut. This trip will give you a different perspective of the lake.

Note 1: Keep in mind that ferry departures and schedules are limited - in high season there are up to 3 departures a day from each port. Check the timetables to buy tickets, especially the morning departures and the last return trip of the day. Don't miss them! If you do, don't worry, you can always walk and enjoy Jotunheimen one last time as a family at your own pace.

Enjoy a relaxing and fun family walk along the beautiful lake Gjende. The stage is designed to be relaxing, giving you plenty of time to connect with the landscape and each other. Children will love this gentle walk with easy paths and breathtaking views of the sparkling lake, waterfalls and imposing peaks. As you walk along the north shore, you'll pass peaceful waters with plenty of places to stop, take photographs and enjoy the tranquillity. You may also find a small pebble beach where you can dive during the summer months. Have fun!

Note 2: Please note that stage details (distance and duration) may vary as they do not include the boat trip.

Today you'll set off from Gjendsheim Hut on a beautiful round trip to the lookout point at Lake Gjende and back. The walk offers magnificent panoramic views of the sparkling lake against a backdrop of towering mountain peaks. From the cabin, follow the path that climbs gently but steadily to the viewpoint.

You'll pass several scenic spots along the way, including some sections where the trail becomes a little more challenging, but rewarding with breathtaking views. Continue through undulating terrain, stopping at today's highest point (1672m) to take photos, have a break or just take in the beauty of the area.

When you reach the lookout point, you'll be rewarded with a sweeping view of Lake Gjende, surrounded by the majestic peaks of Jotunheimen National Park. After a rest and lunch, retrace your steps back to Gjendsheim hut, where you can relax and enjoy the warmth of the cabin after a day of exploration.

If you're feeling energetic after breakfast and before continuing your road trip, there is an optional loop trek to and from Gjendsheim hut that takes less than 2 hours. A nice short circuit to say goodbye to Jotunheimen. You will hike on the hillside near the cabin and in front of Lake Gjende, from where you have a beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding slopes.

After checking out of your hotel, your family adventure comes to an end. Today you can either continue your journey through beautiful Norway or return home with unforgettable memories of your trekking experience. Whether you decide to explore more of Norway or just relax at home, this incredible family trip will stay with you forever. We wish you a safe journey and hope to see you on the trails!
