This charming mountain settlement is said to be Norway's largest alpine skicentre, but few know that this is also the place to experience magnificent scenery and other natural attractions in the summer.
Few places have such beauty, majestic mountains, luscious valleys and rich flora and fauna.
This is also a place you might meet a wild musk ox. Since the 12th century there have been almshouses and shelters on the mountain passes to make the trip a bit safer for travellers. The Kongsvold Fjeldstue mountain lodge came later in 1670. Today, the oldest of the 20 buildings is from 1720. It is also the entry point to the Dovre National Park with ideal country for walks and a surprising abundance of plants and animals.
