Galdhøpiggen Summit
Galdhøpiggen stands at 2,469 metres — the highest point in Norway, in Scandinavia and in all of Northern Europe. This is the flagship trip: a full day out of Oslo to the roof of the continent and back, with your private guide leading you all the way to the top.
We pick you up at 05:00 and drive five hours northwest to Spiterstulen (1,100m), a traditional mountain lodge in Jotunheimen. From there the summer route climbs through dramatic high-alpine terrain — rock, scree and open ridgelines — to the broad summit at 2,469m. On a clear day the view encompasses an enormous sweep of Norway — lakes, ridgelines and valleys in every direction.
Expect to return late — typically after midnight. It's a long day — and an unforgettable one.
