Gjende, ports of call and mountain walks

Gjendesheim

Gjendesheim is the flagship lodge of the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT). It is beautifully located at the foot of Besseggen and the car park at Gjendeosen. The lodge has 185 beds and offers breakfast, lunch and a three-course dinner.

Memurubu

Memurubu is located halfway between Gjendesheim and Gjendebu, with Besseggen on one side and Bukkelægeret on the other. Memurubu has accommodation for up to 150 people, good food and a pleasant atmosphere.

Gjendebu

Gjendebu is at the innermost end of Gjende and is the DNT's oldest lodge. The lodge has 119 beds and is an outstanding starting point for walks further into the Jotunheim mountains and over Bukkelægret to Memurubu.

Besseggen

The Besseggen ridge is Norway's most popular mountain walk and attracts around 50,000 visitors a year. Most people choose to take the boat from Gjendesheim to Memurubu and walk back. The walk normally takes 5 - 7 hours.

Bukkelægret

Bukkelægret is a spectacular walk between Gjendebu and Memurubu. Bukkelægret itself is a steep climb of about 500 metres straight up from Gjendebu. This walk can be done in either direction and normally takes 3 to 5 hours.
