Jotunheimen National Park, Norway

Norway is another country with a large number of national parks, with 37 in total. The national park Jotunheimen, located near Oslo and Bergen, is home to the country's highest peaks and is unquestionably one of the greatest national parks in Europe. The entire area is crisscrossed by towering mountains and massive glaciers, making the visitor feel quite tiny. Words cannot express how stunning the view is.

Jotunheimen presents nature at its best, with over 250 mountains reaching about 2000 meters in elevation, including the 2469-meter-high Galdhpiggen. Hike, ride a bike, climb, or ski. Listen to waterfalls and flow with rivers. Camp wild and free, spend the night sleeping within the park's wooden huts, cabins, and lodges, or build a fire in a suite at Herangtunet, a boutique hotel near the Besseggen at Gjendesheim. Walking across the famed Besseggen ridge with Beitostlen nearby, you can touch the sky at the Home of the Giants.

Fly with eagles from the powerful Galdhpiggen, or simply rest on your back in the lush meadows of this natural gem surrounded by charming Lom, the green hills of Gudbrandsdalen, medieval Valdres, the waters of the Sognefjord, and the everlasting ice of the Jostedalsbreen glacier. So, observe and be observed by the plentiful animals. Experience Europe's wildest nature's freedom, beauty, Zen, and mysticism. Come meet the seasons and listen to the pounding heart of Norway at Jotunheimen. The heart of Norway, Jotunheimen National Park, beats between Oslo, Bergen, and Trondheim.
