Det bästa i Rondane

Rondane Essentials

Rondane Essentials highlights the core landmarks of Norway's oldest national park. The selection includes the park's highest peak, Rondslottet, and the Sohlbergplassen viewpoint, which famously inspired Harald Sohlberg’s painting "Winter Night in the Mountains." The list features a network of historic mountain lodges like Rondvassbu and Bjørnhollia, which serve as hubs for the park’s ten peaks over 2,000 meters. Natural highlights include the Jutulhogget canyon and the waterfalls of the Ula River, set against a landscape of vast lichen-covered plateaus.
