Really great info. Thanks. We have been contemplating the hike but my wife sometimes gets fear of heights so we have been putting it off. It’s unpredictable when her fits come but knowing that there is an alternative route going round Bessvatnet is really good to know. I have been skiing the area in winter, and I would really like to hike there in summer also.
I was on July 1, 2023 on Besseggen and made my way back from the ridge. I'm amazed how the Besseggen staff couldn't install a ladder or a chain or rope for the ridge since it's not safe for climbing. When you get in front of the ridge, then you will really realize it and you will weigh the words in my comment.
