Hike along the Pilgrim`s Path, in the footsteps of thousands of pilgrims and be inspired by a diverse nature of cultural landscape and high mountain terrain. 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. Hiking across the Dovre mountain plateau offers a breathtaking experience of vast, open landscapes, where rolling hills and rugged terrain stretch as far as the eye can see. The area is dotted with patches of arctic vegetation, moss, and lichen, giving the plateau a tundralike feel. Towering peaks rise in the distance, while clear, cold streams and small lakes punctuate the landscape. The scenery is wild and unspoiled, often accompanied by sightings of reindeer or musk oxen. The crisp mountain air and serene silence add to the sense of isolation and connection with nature.
