Galdhøpiggen
Edit This
The Galdhøpiggen is with a hight of 2469m is the biggest mountain in Norway. It lies in the Jotunheimen mountains.
You can drive up to a hotel that lies on the foot of the mountain. After a good night sleep there, you can start climbing up early in the morning.
First you walk through bushes and stone, what later on becomes only stone. After that the first slides of snow show up, but after some more climbing that snow isn't so special anymore, because you wil be walking in a half a meter of snow the last and biggest part of the journey up.
When you are on the top, after a climb of 4 hours, and you're lucky, you can see as far as your eyes can go. It's breath taking. If your unlucky, you will be walking in rainclouds and will not notice the cliffs and evalanges you pass by.
It's a great climb and there is no need for special gear, else then a good pair of walking shoes and some warm clothing.
