Falketind

The discovery of Falketind is considered “the awakening of Jotunheimen”, as people became aware of the real potential and all the breadth of opportunities in the area. It is probably the most demanding, and at the same time best tour in Jotunheimen!

Falketind was first ascended in 1820 and was the first mountain of “alpine character ” to be climbed in Norway.
