Sikkilsdalskardet

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The high pass between Sikkilsdalen and Gjende – the gateway to Jotunheimen – Sikkilsdalskardet is an important path junction. It features on both the Omveien and Jotunheimstien long-distance trails and affords glorious views.

Sikkilsdalshøa

Highlight • Summit

Sikkilsdalshøa is the 5,833-foot (1,778 m) high point of a grand massif on the northern side of Sikkilsdalen on the cusp of Jotunheimen National Park. The hike up from Sikkilsdalsseter is strenuous but not overly technical. A vast panorama including Rondane, Dovre, Jotunheimen and Langsua awaits from the top on a clear day. However, it’s the view down the length of Gjendebåten, towards the famous Bessengen and into the heart of Jotunheimen that's the most impressive.
