Hey everyone,
I’m planning a short multi-day trip in Jotunheimen during the last week of September / first week of October. I’ve got 3 full days for hiking and I’d like to wild camp along the way. It will be my first time visiting Norway and my first hiking trip there.
Here’s what I’m thinking:
Day 1: Gjendesheim to just before Glitterheim (I won’t go all the way to the DNT hut — plan is to camp about 5 km before, near the trail junction).
Day 2: (Near) Glitterheim to Memurubu.
Day 3: Memurubu over the Besseggen Ridge Back to Gjendesheim.
What do you think of this plan? Any tips for a good 3-day route? Always open to ideas.
Thanks!

do realise this is autumn; weather might be (really) bad; so be prepared to abandon your plans; come prepeared for cold and wet weather
I’ve done something similar before, it is a nice trek, but be careful with the weather at that time of the year. You can already find snow and ice on Besseggen ridge. I’d not recommend it if it’s raining a lot and you’re carrying a lot of weight. But you can always walk back along the lake if the weather turns.
