Memurubu Lodge – A Highlight on the Jotunheimen Trek

Nestled along the pristine shores of Lake Gjende, Memurubu is a remarkable highlight on Salamander Adventures’ Jotunheimen trek. Dating back to 1872, this historic lodge perfectly blends its pastoral heritage with modern conveniences. Originally a mountain pasture, Memurubu remains a gateway to Norway’s breathtaking landscapes, offering a haven for adventurers and nature lovers alike.

Exploring Memurubu’s Rich Heritage and Stunning Location

Memurubu’s history is intertwined with the traditions of Norway’s highlands. Following a fire in 1998, the lodge was reconstructed to combine contemporary facilities with its rustic charm. Situated at the base of the river Muru, it serves as a key waypoint on the famous Jotunheimen trails, including the iconic Besseggen Ridge. Sustainability is integral to its operation, powered by a private hydropower plant.

Experiencing Memurubu on the Jotunheimen Trek

Trekkers can reach Memurubu via the Gjendebåten ferry or scenic trails from Gjendesheim. The lodge offers a comfortable retreat with 150 beds, private bathrooms, and a campsite. Daily meals feature hearty local fare, perfect for recharging after a day’s hike. Proximity to trails like Bukkelægeret makes it a favoured stop on the Jotunheimen circuit.
