Beautiful Fjell landscapes

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

A beautiful hike with some highlights. The hiking trail has some rocky sections, so surefootedness and good footwear are a must. Then there are the hurdles to overcome. We had to cross a wild stream in a rather awkward way.

September 11, 2022,🇳🇴 Smuksjøseter - Peer Gynt Hytta
The Rondane Mountains between the Gudbrandsdalen and Atndalen valleys
was protected as Norway's first national park in 1962. The goal was to preserve the high mountain ecosystem and secure the habitats of a wild reindeer tribe. In 2003 the protected area was expanded to 963 km2.

2.5 hours of easy hiking
3 hours with rest
4 hours because you just have to stop and enjoy nature 😅

A flat hike from Smuksjoseter, a beautifully situated campsite, to Peer Gynt Hytta. Along the way, you'll pass two lakes and endless green landscapes to the hiking junction, Peer Gynt Hytta. Simply a beautiful walk and doable at any time with sturdy footwear.

This hike's only possible when the river carries little water – there's a second crossing marked on the map, but you have to walk through the water. (We had our wellies and where fine.)
