The tours
You can join walks through miles of quiet and untouched nature, and experience fast flowing streams, quiet mountain lakes and blooming flowers. During winter, you can put your skis or snowshoes on for a trip on the plateau or into deep and mystic forests where you can learn about animals and examine their tracks.
Here are examples of hikes offered by Hardangervidda Mountain Guiding:
