Besseggen (1743m) Jotunheim
In Jotunheim National Park (Norway) lies one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done. It's a must-do if you visit Norway. To start the trek, we departed from Gjendesheim, where we took the boat that takes us to Memurubu, the start of the route.
Hiking the Besseggen ridge allows you to enjoy incredible landscapes between mountains and lakes; it has an easy climbing section with some exposed sections. You should be well-equipped and bring enough food and water.
Highly recommended, but don't underestimate its difficulty just because it's a popular route. I rate it as difficult due to the distance, climbing sections, and the unpredictable Norwegian weather.
