The blue mountains of Rondane lie as a backdrop to Rondane National Tourist Route. Rondane National Park was established in 1962 as Norway's first National Park. Here, the characteristic traces of the ice age are clear.
The area has a rich cultural history. The old buildings at Folldal mines, dating from the mid-18th century, show the life and the class distinctions of the former mining community.
Amazing views
Along the route, you will find some amazing and interesting stopping points. In fact, Sohlbergplassen offers magnificent views of Lake Atnsjøen and the mountains of Rondane. From here you can see Rondane as the painter Harald Sohlberg portrayed it in "Winter Night in the Mountains".
