About Jotunheimen National Park
<p>Jotunheimen ('home of the giants') is Norway's greatest mountain range and national park, holding the country's two highest peaks — Galdhøpiggen and Glittertind — along with glaciers, high lakes and classic hikes. Its most famous walk is the Besseggen ridge, a knife-edge between two differently coloured lakes, but the whole park is a landscape of huts, trails and summits for hikers and climbers. It is the heart of Norwegian mountain wilderness, roughly midway between Oslo and the western fjords.</p>
