And do take the opportunity to run through the wind-swept, heather-covered mountain areas nearby ...
... or conquer a mountaintop! A few examples of hiking-friendly mountains within reach are Høgevarde, Reineskarvet and Hallingskarvet.
Hallingdal stretches out like a big smile across southeast Norway, with high mountains on both sides - from Flå in the southeastern corner and all the way to Hemsedal and Geilo on the northern side.
If you travel between Oslo and Bergen, you pass Hallingdal on the way whether you go by bus, by car, or by train.
