In reply to sam_owen41:
What type of skiing? Alpine ski touring or Nordic type touring. Doesnt actually matter you could do either.
Ive been Alpine ski touring to Hurrungane twice for 3 days in May, its the SW corner of Jotunheim. We camped on the grass in between melting snow patches, outside the hotel. You have to pay the hotel if you want to use there showers, else wash in the freezing river. The Hurrungane ski season is more April / May though i,d say. Loads of great mountains accessible straight from the campsite. Road(s) might not even be open in March. This prob also goes for greater Jotunheimen - altho ive never been
- They tend to get everything ready for Easter, so if going March then definatley the later the better. The weather in March could still be severely inclement (or any time for that matter), but generally by late March things cheer up significantly in Norway.
My buddy did a couple of alpine ski tour trip in jotunheim main, there are some good huts to use as a base, forget the names; Leivarassbu? and others...check the interactive map on DNT website...
If you scour that DNT website you should find some sort of bus that the DNT put on from Oslo for easter at least. Drops you off somehwere where you get a ride up a hill by a cat buggy thing, then you skin in to the huts. As i say, never did it yet...
and download Norgeskart onto your smartphone. Free topo maps for the entire country. zoom in when connected to wifi for free download of the particular sheet, it stays on your phone for 30 days so when not got wifi can use phone as GPS.
Good luck!
