Itinerary description

The Besseggen Ridge is one of the most famous trails of Norway. It should not be attempted in bad weather because a section involves scrambling on all four (actually even climbing). Those with fear of heights will probably find the West to East direction easier. The views are absolutely beautiful. This trail is not suitable for beginners.
