Bessheim

Central Norway


This super-slick and organised mountain lodge, just 3km east of Gjendesheim, is the best place to stay in the vicinity of the Besseggen ridge. The rustic rooms are matched by an equally down-home restaurant; three-course set dinners cost 370kr. It's extremely popular, so summer bookings are essential.
