Hiking up to Galdhöpiggen, Jotunheimen in Norway

Top 12 Day hikes

Even though most hikes give you value for the effort, there are a few that really stand out as something special. The views, a cold lake to take a swim in, snow to go down in in the middle of the summer, a beautiful stream to jump over or a waterfall where you can fill your water bottle. These are our top twelve favorites so far.
