About the Gjendesheim brygge – Memurubu crossing
Gjendesheim and Memurubu are separated by a 5 nautical mile crossing across the eastern part of Lake Gjende in Norway's Jotunheimen National Park. Gjendebåten AS operates this domestic route with a journey time of 20 to 25 minutes. Seven sailings are scheduled every day, with the first departure from Gjendesheim at 07:45 and the final one at 17:30.
Transport for Besseggen hikers
This ferry service is an integral part of the transport infrastructure for one of Norway's most famous mountain hikes, the Besseggen ridge. Hikers typically use the ferry to travel in one direction and walk the trail in the other. This creates a point-to-point route rather than a return trip on foot. The service connects Gjendesheim, which has road access, with the trailheads at Memurubu.
From Memurubu, passengers can also connect to other ferry services on Lake Gjende, including routes to Gjendebu. Fares on the route are based on the Norwegian AutoPASS road-ferry pricing system. This system typically charges vehicles by length, while foot passengers often travel for free.
