Located in southern Norway, the breathtaking mountainous region of Jotunheimen is situated in the Scandinavian mountains. Known as the 'Home of the Giants', Jotunheimen is renowned for its majestic peaks, expansive glaciers, and lakes, as well as its wildlife diversity. In addition, the region is home to the protected and picturesque Jotunheimen National Park. If you're seeking an immersive overnight excursion in the wilderness of Norway, this 2-day self-guided winter experience in Jotunheimen from Flåm is calling your name!

Your fun-filled excursion in Jotunheimen begins at the meeting point in Flåm, where you and your group (a maximum of 12 people) will board the comfortable bus to Jotunheimen. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the incredible views of the frozen landscapes of Norway, including lakes, waterfalls, and traditional Norwegian houses on the 1.5-hour journey. You'll stop for a 9-minute break in Tyinkrysset Fjellstue with the opportunity to purchase food and beverages at the kiosk and use the facilities. Then, your winter excursion in Jotunheimen continues to Tyin, where you'll board the vintage snow coach for an unforgettable 45-minute ride across the snow-covered wilderness to Eidsbugarden. It is interesting to note that snow coaches are a vital means of transportation for villagers in this remote area during the harsh winter months.

Upon your arrival in Eidsbugarden, you'll check in at the cosy Fondsbu Lodge and will be greeted by their friendly staff. Once you're settled, you'll be served delicious Norwegian waffles! Then, the fun starts! You'll receive snowshoes, poles, and a map with a brief introduction on snowshoeing and snowshoeing techniques before setting out into the wilderness on a self-guided snowshoe hike. As you snowshoe, you'll experience a sense of tranquillity like none other in the awe-inspiring surroundings. In the evening, you'll be treated to a delectable 3-course dinner in an inviting and warm ambience. Later, you can relax around the fire in the common area.

After an amazing night's sleep, you'll start the day in Eidsbugarden with a hearty breakfast and an optional snowshoe hike in Jotunheimen. With your belongings packed, you'll board the snow coach for the return ride to Tyin, where you'll board the bus to Flåm with lifelong memories of your time spent in beautiful Jotunheimen!
