Spiterstulen Lodge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Spiterstulen guarded hut is one of the largest in Jotunheimen National Park. Accessible by road, it makes an excellent base camp for exploring the park.

The refuge has a wide range of accommodation, from single rooms to dormitories. It is also possible to use the campsite equipped with sanitary facilities and located on the other side of the river.

The restaurant at the refuge is excellent and serves local food. Also, do not hesitate to taste the Lomb, a beer brewed in the village of Lom located a few kilometers away.

Finally, the site is very busy during the high season. Do not hesitate to make a reservation to ensure your place.

Skautkampan

Highlight • Summit

Skautkampan is a small peak rising to 4,734 feet (1,443 m).

Located at the western edge of the Skautflye plateau, it is the gateway to the vast Visdalen Valley. It also offers exceptional views of the glaciers of Galdhøpiggen, Norway's highest mountain at 8,100 feet (2,686 m).

The path leads directly through the river... it is not possible to cross it with dry feet. So better pack a towel!

Views towards Galdhøpiggen

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Glittertinden's east flanks you can gaze out across Jotunheimen to Galdhøpiggen, thus looking from Norway's second highest mountain to its highest. This is the route down to Visdalen and DNT's Spiterstulen from the peak.

Glittertinden

Highlight • Summit

Once the highest mountain in Scandinavia, it now stands at 8,045 feet (2,452 m), which is the elevation without the remaining summit glacier.

In good weather, the ascent can be described as a physically demanding but technically easy hike. Further up, you'll have to walk on rocks and large stones, and then another snowfield awaits at the summit. This is no problem, as long as you don't get too close to the overhanging snow cornices at the summit or, in poor visibility, before reaching it. The descent to Glitterheim can then be completed largely on a toboggan, some of it up to 5,249 feet (1,600 m). Great fun :)
