All you need to know about besseggen hike. Two amateurs hiking a difficult ridge.
We stayed at besseggen fjellpark at maurvangen night before and after the hike and this was a good decision according to us.
We have referred www.besseggen.net for our preparations of the hike.
The hike is a little challenging, especially if you have vertigo / fear of heights. If you have fear of heights, try to not focus on the lake below but focus on the trail. Shout out to Bessggen patrulje, who were present when we were on the ridge. These guys also organize guided tour / guided hike of Besseggen. Very calm and patient person helping people to cope with the difficult parts of the ridge.
Be careful while hiking, dress appropriately and bring along enough food and drink. Weather can change in mountains at any time.
Do not litter in nature.
