Explore nature in a lush mountain valley, enjoy the view from the mountains, and get up close to wild animals such as bears, lynx, and moose in Bjørneparken.
Flå
Approaching from the south, Flå is the gateway to the Hallingdal valley. The peaceful village in Eastern Norway is home to around 1,100 inhabitants and offers wild and beautiful Norwegian nature.
Flå’s main attraction is the Bjørneparken Wildlife Park, where you can experience wild animals such as bears, lynx, foxes, wolves, and moose in their natural habitat. The park also has a big crocodile area where you can see snakes, alligators, and crocodiles, as well as two Amur leopards – the world’s rarest feline!
With several play areas, a centre for predators with interactive exhibitions, an obstacle course, and a separate water playground, Bjørneparken is a sure winner for adventurous families with children.
In winter, Flå is a paradise for cross-country skiers. The rest of the year, you can fish, hike, and enjoy the view from the top of Mount Høgevarde, which is in a league of its own.
The vast, forested mountain valley Vassfaret is full of lakes, waterfalls, steep slopes, and mountain peaks. From Lake Øyvatn there is a 16-kilometre long nature and culture trail, which is well suited for the whole family.
