Jotunheimen, Innlandet

The ridge is narrower than you thought.

Blue water on one side. Green on the other.

A ridge that has split the watershed for thousands of years — and the stories that came with it.

Vad du skulle höra just här
«The ridge you're balancing on now is a moraine remnant from the last ice age. Two glacial lakes sat on either side, carving into the mountain at different rates. That's why Lake Gjende is green and Lake Bessvatnet is blue — each carries different mineral content from its own glacier. Henrik Ibsen walked here in 1862. He said the place was impossible to forget.»

The ridge between two worlds

Besseggen is the most-hiked mountain trail in Norway — but not because it's easy. It's 14 kilometers long and crosses a narrow ridge between two lakes of different color and elevation.

Henrik Ibsen walked Besseggen in 1862 and used the landscape as inspiration for Peer Gynt's wild ride across the ridge. The ground you're crossing is the very same.

EchoTrail is triggered at Memurubu, along the ridge, and down to Gjendebu — with stories about Jotunheimen as a national identity, Peer Gynt, and the mountain people who once lived here.
