Hjerkinn & Dovre Line
Hjerkinn – Dovrebanen
The Dovre Line railway runs from Oslo to Trondheim and crosses the high plateau. Hjerkinn Station is one of the highest stations along the line.
The Dovre Line connects Oslo and Trondheim. In the Dovrefjell section, it crosses a vast treeless plateau, with snowy peaks and lakes visible from the windows, making it one of the most spectacular railways in Norway. Hjerkinn Station sits at about 1,000 meters above sea level and is the gateway to the Snøhetta viewpoint, the Snøheim shuttle bus, and musk ox safari tours. The train ride from Oslo takes about 4 to 5 hours. Hjerkinn Mountain Inn next to the station offers accommodation, and some small stations require you to tell the conductor in advance that you want to get off.
