Spiterstulen

An old mountain-pasture lodge deep in the Visdalen valley. It is the main base for climbing Galdhøpiggen and Glittertind.

Spiterstulen is a privately run mountain lodge in a river valley at about 1,100 metres. It was once a summer pasture and now offers accommodation, a restaurant and a campsite. From here you can climb Galdhøpiggen without crossing a glacier, or go to Glittertind. A toll road along the Bøverdal valley can take you there by car, and there is a bus in summer. Staying a night here lets you start climbing early the next morning, before the afternoon weather turns.
