Galdhøpiggen summer ski center is located 1,850 meters above sea level—at the foot of Northern Europe’s highest mountain, Galdhøpiggen. The ski center is one of the few in Norway located on a glacier.

Galdhøpiggen Sommerskisenter, often called “Juvass,” is a modern ski facility with all amenities, suitable for alpine skiing, telemark, and snowboarding. Here, you and your family can enjoy the combination of sun, skiing, and slushy summer conditions—at the ski center located at the highest elevation above sea level in all of Scandinavia.

The facility has a T-bar lift and a 1,400-meter-long run. This is Norway’s longest glacier ski tow! Opening hours are usually from mid-May to November, when the major winter ski resorts open. Some years, Galdhøpiggen Summer Ski Center keeps the facility closed in the middle of summer if the blue ice melts through.

So, the ski center is one of the few in Norway located on a glacier. The ski lift is drilled down into glacier ice that is constantly moving toward Juvvatnet, the crystal-clear green lake that stands in stark contrast to the permafrost landscape.

Training arena and play park:
The ski center is a popular training venue for alpine teams from all over the world. During the summer holidays, most of the runs are open to private individuals, and a summer park with various jumps is built.

Here you can rent equipment such as skis, a helmet, and poles at a good price.

Treat yourself to a “Juvass bun”!
If you get tired between runs, you can take a break in the café with 120 seats, serving hot and cold food and drinks. What’s more, you’ll find the best buns you can get 1,000 meters above sea level. The altitude actually makes this bun rise much better than usual.

Remember to check the weather and snow/track conditions, and that the road is open, at www.gpss.no.
