Hardangervidda National Park
Hardangervidda nasjonalpark
Europe's largest high-altitude plateau and Norway's largest national park, dotted with lakes, tundra and wild reindeer herds, a prime destination for long-distance hiking and cross-country skiing.
The national park covers about 3,400 square km, with an average elevation of about 1,100–1,300 m, and is home to Europe's largest wild reindeer herd. Visitors can drive up onto the plateau from Eidfjord along Route 7 for short hikes near mountain huts such as Dyranut and Halne, or start from above Vøringsfossen. The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) operates a hut network for multi-day crossings. The weather changes quickly, so bring warm, waterproof clothing and a map.
