Why Hardangervidda National Park matters

Hardangervidda is a high plateau of open tundra, lakes and rounded hills. It is home to wild reindeer, and trails cross it for days. The landscape feels huge and treeless, a contrast to the fjords below. Hikers and cross-country skiers enjoy the space and the sense of wilderness. Trolltunga and Vøringsfossen lie on its edges.

Talking points
