Hi there, Marco

Welcome to Norway. I do not have first hand experience with Jotunheimen winter time. Maybe the area around Gjendesheim is what you are looking for: http://www.turistforeningen.no/english/location.php?lo_id=NO_jotun

Else have a look at the main site:

http://www.turistforeningen.no/english/ or give them a call, +47 22 82 28 00

Hopefully someone with first hand experience with Jotunheimen winter time are willing to share some useful advice with you.

Marco,

It is difficult to suggest a trip if you do not tell more about your experience and what you are looking for. Are you an experienced skier - perhaps you have done things like Haute Route? Do you want to stay at one place or pack back from one place to another, do you want to stay in a hut or do you bring a tent? Etc etc.

You say that you will ski to Galdhøpiggen from Spiterstulen. This is a very nice day trip. (The trip is a lot easier if you start at Juvasshytta.) To ski from Spiterstulen to Glittertind and back is somewhat more difficult, but with normal snow conditions, this is also a very nice trip. To ski these two peaks in two days, it is quite an advantage to stay at Spiterstulen. There are also other very nice day trips to take from Spiterstulen. Other nice places to stay for day trips are Leirvassbu and Glitterheim.
