Parking
There are two car parks in the area around Gjendesheim. One is down by the quay, and its free but…is only for short-term parking up to 2 hours! The other is about 1,7 km from the quay. There is a shuttlebus service to and from the quay. If you will be away more than 2 hours, park here! The first minibus in the morning starts 30 minutes before the first departure to the boats. Its smart to pay for parking and shuttle online before you arrive, more info at visitgjende.no
Visit Gjende runs the car parks and the kiosk, so if there is anything you wish to know about parking or ice cream, visit visitgjende.no, call: 954 517 43 or email: post@visitgjende.no.
Choose the right queue
You will find there are two groups queueing on the quayside. One is for Memurubu/Besseggen, with up to 8 departures a day, and the other is for Gjendebu, with up to two departures a day. Make sure you join the right queue!
The boats
We operate two boats. Kåre Johan which takes 98 passengers, and Gjendine, which takes 80 passengers.
Cancellations
According to Section 19 in the Consumer Purchase Act, individual services are not to be refunded if the seller undertakes to provide the service at a particular time or within a specified time at the time of the agreement. There is therefore no cancellation or cancellation option for tickets purchased for travel with Gjendebåtene. Under special circumstances, deviations from this provision may be made. Read our complete purchase information.
Besseggen
If you wish to walk the Besseggen ridge and walk back to Gjendesheim, take the boat to Memurubu. You can also walk from Gjendesheim to Memurubu along Besseggen and take the boat back to Gjendesheim. Remember to book your ticket!

Additional information
Baggage transport
If you intend to spend several days in the mountains and have a lot of baggage, just pack a small bag with what you need for the day. We can transport the baggage you don’t need for your day’s walk to your destination. All you need to do is buy a baggage label on the boat or at your lodge. Tie on the label and put your baggage under the right sign on the quayside. You will find your baggage on the quay under the sign “Arrived rucksacks”. There’s no point in carrying more than you need to.
