Description

Come with me on a hiking trip to the Store Svartdalspiggen in Norway. We’ll leave from the Gjendesheim cabin and make our way to this beautiful mountain, nestled in the Jotunheimen Mountains that form part of the Scandinavian Mountains in southern Norway.

In order to get to our start point, we’ll take a ferry from Gjendesheim to Svartdalen. This is a stunning valley in the mountainous Jotunheimen area. We’ll explore this beautiful valley as we walk, taking in the beautiful scenery that surrounds us.

We’ll get great views of Store Svartdalspiggen as we walk upwards towards it. If weather permits, we’ll hike to the summit at 2,174 meters. This is an endurance test and a really fun hike. When we reach the top, we’ll stop for lunch and then we’ll really be able to appreciate the beauty of the valley around us.

If the weather is not great, we’ll choose another path to follow that is lower down. There are so many awesome hiking trails here so we’ll be spoiled for choice.

After a day of exploring, we’ll head to the dock again to take the ferry back to Gjendesheim.

This is a fantastic opportunity to access beautiful Norwegian mountainous terrain, don’t let it pass you by. Secure your spot today!

Hiking Guide

With Gjende and Jotunheimen right here in my backyard, it's hard not to spend every waking hour outdoors.

Ever since I was a child, I have been drawn to the natural world. Years later, I still find myself standing in awe of the mountains of my native Norway. Regardless of the season, I work and play outside in the beautiful landscapes that surround me.

While I enjoy many outdoor sports and activities, I must say the mountain biking terrain here in Vågå is hard to beat.

I look forward to exploring my backyard with you on your next adventure!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
