This was my first hike in the 2020 season in Norway. I have been inspired by Kraig Adams and the idea was to bring only one camera and lens for the trip and be minimalist with my gear. The hike was still very snowy yet gorgeous, and I highly recommend the Besseggen hike in Norway to anyone.

I started from Bessheim which is not the typical place to start from and that is why I got the extra kilometers. The regular Besseggen hike is roughly 15 kilometers and takes 6-9 hours. You are allowed to camp anywhere in the area and I highly recommend that for the best experience possible. Bring enough water, food, and supplies as the elevation gain is 1080 meters and it's easy to get dehydrated. The best time to visit Jotunheimen National Park in Norway, and do the Besseggen hike is between June and September.
