Facts
Road: Rv. 27 between Enden and Folldal Length: 48 kilometres

Rondane National Tourist Route follows the border between the Rondane mountains and beautiful and tranquil valley from Enden, through Sollia and Atndalen to Folldal in the county of Hedmark.

Along the route, exciting stopping points have been designed for taking breaks, parking for hikes and taking photographs. One such place is Sohlbergplassen which offers magnificant views of Lake Atnsjøen and the mountains of Rondane.

Norway's first national park

The blue mountains of Rondane lie as a backdrop to Rondane National Tourist Route, from both north and south. Rondane National Park was established in 1962 as the first national park in Norway. In Rondane, the characteristic traces of the ice age are clear.

Rondane's dry climate and firm terrain mean the area is well-suited for mountain walks and summit tours, with many marked paths and tourist cabins. Rondane is also home to one of Norway's biggest populations of wild reindeer. During winter, Rondane, offers excellent cross-country skiing.
