Snøhetta

Central Norway


The park's highest mountain is Snøhetta (2286m) and it was an important trading pass in previous centuries. The mountain also features in many Norwegian myths and legends. Most people view it from a distance, but it can be climbed from Snøheim (allow six hours), although it's for experienced walkers only, with equipment suitable for extreme weather.
