Hardangervidda National Park is known for its vast beauty and diverse wildlife, close to the famous Western fjords of Norway.

The trees give way to breathtaking views of the endless plateau.
Hiking trails for everyone
In Norway, everyone has “the right to roam”. This cherished right allows everyone to hike and enjoy nature on any uncultivated land – even if it's privately owned.
Norwegian culture of trust
This uniquely Norwegian tradition reflects our deep connection to nature and trust-based culture. It's both a freedom and a responsibility.
