About Gjendebåten
Gjendebåtene runs passenger boats on Lake Gjende in Jotunheimen National Park. Boats leave from the Gjendesheim pier, with up to seven daily trips to Memurubu (the Besseggen route) and two to Gjendebu. Tickets are sold online through timetables on the company site.
Customers are hikers and visitors to the mountains, along with groups, pensioners, schools, institutions and companies. The company also assembles package trips with mountain cabins and activity providers, and tailors trips for firms, clubs and other groups. Revenue comes from ticket sales and these package offers.
The company was registered in 2005 and is based in Vågå, Norway. The website describes a family business whose boats have been operated since Ole Øvstedal's first trip on 1 July 1906, with the current skipper being the fourth generation of the family. The 2026 season ran from 5 June to 25 September, and booking for 2027 opens on 1 December 2026.
