Besseggen is Norway's most popular 1-day hike. The trip is approx. 14 km long, lasts 5-9 hours and starts from Gjendesheim. You hike along the ridge with Dyrfjorden on your left and Lake Gjende on your right, creating a fantastic view. The route is moderately difficult with steep ascents and descents, but rewards you from start to finish with the spectacular scenery. Remember good hiking boots and something to eat and drink with, so you can get some energy along the way.

The best time to hike in Norway is usually in the summer from June to September, when the days are long and the weather is often mild. The spring months of April and May are also good, but here the weather can be more unpredictable. It can also be beautiful to hike in the autumn months of September and October, when the autumn colors decorate the landscape. Winter brings cold, snow, and short days, so it's less than ideal unless you're an experienced hiker.
