Jotunheimen National Park, National park in Vestland, Norway
Jotunheimen National Park spans 1,151 square kilometers, featuring more than 250 peaks above 1,900 meters, including Northern Europe's highest mountain Galdhøpiggen at 2,469 meters.
The area contains Stone Age camps discovered near lakes Gjende and Russvatnet, indicating prehistoric hunting activities and early human settlements in the region.
Poet Aasmund Olavsson Vinje named the region Jotunheimen in 1862, leading to the installation of a memorial near Lake Bygdin recognizing his contribution.
The Norwegian Mountain Touring Association maintains a network of marked trails and mountain huts throughout the park, providing accommodation options for hikers.
The park contains diverse geological formations of Precambrian rock, shaped by glacial activity over millennia into deep valleys and sharp mountain ridges.
