Stabbursdalen National Park

The Stabburselva River flows through diverse landscapes, starting from open valleys and continuing through narrow ravines with steep hillsides covered in birch trees.

The park area underwent significant expansion in 2002, growing from its initial 98 square kilometers established in 1970 to 747 square kilometers of protected land.

Traces of agricultural activities, hunting methods, trapping systems, and fishing practices throughout the park territory demonstrate the historical presence of Sami communities.

Visitors can access marked hiking trails, open cabins, fishing spots along Stabburselva River, and obtain navigation maps from the Norge 1:50 000 series.

The park contains the northernmost pine forest globally, featuring low bushy trees up to 500 years old that provide habitats for capercaillie and Siberian jay.
