The area is popular due to its world-class hiking trails, thrilling fishing spots, and proximity to geological wonders like the Folgefonna Glacier and expansive mountain lakes.

Hardangervidda National Park Tips You Must Know

• Book your hotel 2-3 months prior, especially for summer (June-August) when accommodations fill fast.

• Visiting during spring and fall avoids the crowds while offering great hiking conditions.

• Public transportation options are limited; renting a car is ideal for reaching remote areas.

• Look for hotels with guided tour packages for easier access to hidden trails and fishing spots.

• Pack layers and gear suitable for sudden weather changes, as mountain conditions are unpredictable.
