Besshø, also written Besshøe or Besshøi, is a mountain in Vågå, Oppland, Norway, and is part of the Jotunheimen mountain range. It lies right above Bessvatnet, along the Besseggen hiking trail. On the mountain's north-eastern side a small cirque-glacier exists, surrounded by a large ice-cored moraine, a relatively rare feature in Norway.
From Besseggen there is a nice view over Gjende and Bessvatnet. Gjende is about 400 meters lower than Bessvatnet. While Bessvatnet has a blue color commong to lake, Gjende has a green color due to glacier runoff depositing clay into the lake (rock flour).
