Visit Gjende AS facilitates great experiences in the mountain areas around Gjende and Valdresflye. By operating parking, shuttle buses, and food service, Visit Gjende makes it easier for visitors to get the most out of their trip to Besseggen and other mountain hikes in Jotunheimen.
At Reinsvangen, you can park and take a shuttle bus to Gjendeosen – a natural starting point for the hike across Besseggen. Here you’ll also find Café Gjendeosen, offering meals, kiosk items, and souvenirs. You can buy a ready-made packed lunch to bring on your hike!
Valdresflye Kafé is located at the highest point on the mountain plateau and serves mountain food with a view. The café is also close to several popular summit hikes, making it a natural stop both before and after your trip.
Visit Gjende operates these services on behalf of Statens Vegvesen, with the aim of making great nature experiences even better – through practical facilitation and good service.
