Beitostølen

The popular tourist destination Beitostølen is located at the very entrance of Jotunheimen with the characteristic Bitihorn mountain as its recognizable landmark. There is lots to do in all four seasons, from music festivals, sports events and a large number of activities.

This small mountain village has the region's best selection of restaurants, bars, shops and accommodations, but yet only a short walk from powerful mountain adventures. The hiking trails start from the center of town and before you know it, you'll be in the midst of a hiker's paradise, looking towards the high peaks of Jotunheimen.

Summer activities 

During the summer, the alpine area is turned into a summer park, with summer alpine sledge, downhill carting, gyro trampolines, mini climbing course and kiddie bumper boats. You can also participate in horseback riding, summer husky tours, mountain climbing, fishing and rafting.
