\n\t\t\tGaldh\u00f8piggen\t<\/h1>\n\t

Galdh\u00f8piggen rises to 2,469 metres above sea level and is the highest mountain on mainland Norway, in Scandinavia, and in Northern Europe. From Krossbu, you have easy access to the main starting points for the summit hike:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Juvasshytta: approx. 45 minutes by car
\u2022 Spiterstulen: approx. 55 minutes by car<\/p>\nFrom Juvasshytta, a guided glacier crossing is required to reach the summit, while the route from Spiterstulen can be completed independently without crossing a glacier.
A hike to Galdh\u00f8piggen is a true high-mountain adventure, offering breathtaking views, a sense of achievement, and the unforgettable experience of standing on the very top of Norway. A must-do for mountain lovers visiting the region.

 <\/p>\n\tIt is also possible to walk from Elves\u00e6ter up Br\u00e5n\u00e5vegen, a slightly less well-known route up to Galdh\u00f8piggen.
\nFrom Krossbu to Elves\u00e6ter it takes approx. 19 min. by car. \nHere you can read about the trip Bj\u00f8rn Lytskjold and three friends had in December 2020:
