Why celebrate May 17th on Gaustatoppen?
Celebrating May 17th in the mountains is perfect for those who want to get some fresh mountain air, and also get away from the gatherings in the city.
It is no coincidence that the National Day is celebrated at Gaustatoppen. Gaustatoppen is often considered one of Norway's most beautiful mountains, with an altitude of 1883 meters above sea level and a view over a sixth of Norway's land surface (!) The mountain is also one of Norway's most accessible, only 2.5 hours from Oslo. The cabel car Gaustabanen, which goes through the mountain, makes it accessible for nature lovers of all ages and skills to experience the mountains.
How is May 17th celebrated at Gaustatoppen?
May 17th celebrations at Gaustatoppen go way back. The national day is usually celebrated by ski touring and a joint "ski train" to Gaustatoppen, organized by DNT Telemark. The train starts at the car park at Stavsro at 1100 meters altitude and continues all the way to the top at 1883 meters altitude. Gaustabanen and Gaustatoppen Turisthytte are open during the day for drinks and food.
Meeting point: Langefonn Turisthytte (we go up together along the road to Svineroi Sæter).
