Bitihorn
Bitihorn is a prominent iconic 1,607-meter mountain in the south of Jotunheimen National Park, located in southern Norway. It is famous for its dramatic contrast of steep cliffs and accessible slopes. From the east and south, the mountain presents sheer, rocky walls. On the western side, however, a gentler route allows hikers and skiers to reach the summit without technical climbing.
The building atop Bitihorn is a communications station with a small cabin. It's closed to the public and not accessible as a shelter.
The reward at the top is a breathtaking 360-degree view over Jotunheimen’s jagged peaks and the serene Valdres region. This unique position makes Bitihorn a prime viewpoint, standing alone with unobstructed vistas in every direction.
In the warmer months, the hike is well-marked and typically takes a few hours, making it a great half-day adventure. Come winter, the trail transforms into a ski tour, attracting backcountry enthusiasts. Bitihorn offers not very long, but very nice skiing terrains for all kinds of skiers.
