Hiking
along National Tourist Route Rondane
Rondane is an ikon in Norway on mountain
hiking both summer and winter. You don’t
necessarily need to pack your backpack and
walk for days. There is a lot of great walking
opportunities, including both long and short
routes and with terrains most of us might
cope with easily. Park your car at one of the
car parks along the road.
This guide starts at the house «Solvang» in
Sollia and ends up in the town centre of
Folldal.
