= = = = =**Natural Attraction:** = Description: Galdhøpiggen is the highest mountain in Norway, Scandinavia and Northern Europe, at 2,469 m (8,100 ft) above sea level. It is located near the city of Lom, (in Oppland) in the Jotunheimen mountain area.
 * Over 4 feet: - $50.40
 * Under 4 feet: - $43
 * Under 3 feet,1 inch: - Free
 * Seniors (60+): - $18

Why to go there: Access to the top of Galdhøpiggen is not especially hard: from Juvasshytta (1850 metres above sea level, 5 km from the summit) it takes about three hours up (including about 45 minute to prepare for crossing the Styggebreen glacier), an hour at the top and about two hours back. Some days in the summer, a few hundred people reach the summit each day. Guides are needed to cross the glacier, but are available every summer morning.

Galdhøpiggen can also be hiked from the Spiterstulen lodge in Visdalen, a climb of 1300 m — nearly 4000 ft. It takes four hours walk up, two hours <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">down. From Spiterstulen, hikers do not have to cross the Styggebreen.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">At Juvasshytta there is an alpine ski resort with lift on a glacier, with <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">top on 2200 m, the highest in Scandinavia. It is called Galdhøpiggen <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">summer ski center and is open from June to the beginning of September

__**Food**__
//website:// [|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_cuisine#Alcohol] __Gravet elg__ - sweet and salt cured moose: this treatment may be used for all red meat, but game and beef work best. It is the same procedure as for gravlaks (raw salmon, cured in salt, sugar, and dill), but brandy is often substituted with aquavit, and dill with juniper berries. __Lutefisk__ - lyed fish: a traditional preparation made of stockfish (dried cod or ling) or //klippfisk// (dried and salted cod) that has been steeped in lye. It was prepared this way because refrigeration was nonexistant, and they needed a way to preserve the fish for longer periods. It is somewhat popular in the United States as a heritage food. It retains a place in Norwian cuisine (especially on the west coast) as a traditional food around christmas time.

 * ====**__What to wear and when to travel:__** When planning to go to Norway, the temperature in the winter is colder than in the summer. I would plan on bringing layers in the winter but in the summer a t-shirt and jeans, or shorts and a light sweatshirt should be fine. I would recommend going during the summer.====
