Viewpoint Snøhetta
Tverrfjellhytta – Norsk villreinsenter
A wild reindeer viewing pavilion designed by an award-winning architecture firm, with large glass windows facing Snøhetta peak.
The viewpoint, formally the Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre viewing pavilion, opened in 2011 and was designed by the Snøhetta architecture firm. Inside the steel-framed glass shell, wooden seats undulate like rock. Outside the windows stretch the broad plateau and, in the distance, the peak of Snøhetta. If you're lucky, you can use binoculars to spot wild reindeer or musk oxen. It is a gentle walk of about 1.5 kilometers from the car park near Hjerkinn. Admission is free. The plateau is windy and cold, so bring a windproof jacket even in summer.
