The Hiking World

Norway

NO

Norway here is two regions. Jotunheimen holds the Besseggen ridge — the classic Gjendesheim to Memurubu day-hike above Lake Gjende, with no walking permit; the logistics are the seasonal Valdresekspressen bus from Oslo and an advance booking on the Gjende boat if you hike one way. Ryfylke, on Lysefjord, holds Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) — a short out-and-back from the fjellstue car park to an unfenced cliff plateau, likewise no walking permit; paid parking is logistics.
