The Dovrefjell National Park is also famous for its rich flora and fauna. This tour is literally a walk through Norwegian history, combined with breathtaking sceneries.
Your tour begins at Toftemo, nestled in the heart of Norway`s countryside. After a short transfer your hike starts at Budsjord Farm, a listed farm placed in the hillside of the Gudbrandsdalen valley. As you set out on your path, you`ll be surrounded by lush greenery, babbling brooks, and the peaceful serenity of nature.
After a day of invigorating trekking, you`ll reach Dovrefjell Lodge, a charming mountain lodge perched amid the scenic landscapes. Here you can unwind a recharge amidst the wild beauty of Dovrefjell.
Continuing your hike, you`ll venture deeper into Dovrefjell, where the landscape takes on an otherworldly quality, and you stay at Hjerkinn mountain lodge with long traditions.
Finally, the trail leads you to Kongsvold, a historic mountain hotel that has welcomed travelers for centuries. As you approach Kongsvold, you`ll be greeted by awe-inspiring sight of the Snøhetta mountain, a true masterpiece of nature.
This is a suitable tour if you would like to combine walking in highlands with a good level of comfort. You stay in nice, private lodges and your luggage is transferred from one accommodation to the next. The terrain is varied with distances of 12-20 km a day. You should be accustomed to walking in mountains areas in all kinds of weather.
Hike along the Pilgrim`s Path with Discover Norway!
Since the marking of the Pilgrim's Path began in 1994, more than 500 kilometers of trails through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway have been marked with the pilgrim logo. The logo along the Pilgrim's Path is easy to recognize. It combines the landmark symbol, the valknut, with a form of the Cross of St. Olav. The logo is trademarked and managed by the National Pilgrim Center (NPS), which also coordinates and develops the Pilgrim's Path – St. Olav's Ways to Trondheim.
All approved St. Olav's Ways must have Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim as the destination and be linked to the history of St. Olav. The Pilgrim's Path through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway attained the status of a European Cultural Route through the Council of Europe's cultural routes program in May 2010.
