Besshøe looms majestically in the landscape above Besseggen and Gjende. The peak is slightly off the route in the eastern part of Jotunheimen, between Gjend in the south and the peaks around Nautgardstinden further north. Getting to the top of Besshøe is relatively easy, but there are big changes in elevation and lots of boulders along the way. The route is often accompanied by bad weather and strong winds. The route road is not exactly marked everywhere, so it is quite easy to get lost. Basically, climbing the Besshøe peak is a difficult task that requires endurance.
