Hardangervidda Essentials

Hardangervidda is Europe's largest high-mountain plateau, spanning over 3,422 square kilometers across central Norway. This selection includes the four major waterfalls of the Husedalen Valley—Tveitafossen, Nyastølfossen, Nykkjesøyfossen, and Søtefossen—which descend from the plateau toward Kinsarvik. It also features the Nupsfonn glacier and key DNT mountain huts like Rauhelleren and Litlos, which serve as essential hubs for multi-day trekking routes across this wild tundra landscape, inhabited by Northern Europe’s largest wild reindeer herds.
