Saltfjellet–Svartisen National Park, National park with glaciers and mountains in Nordland, Norway.
The park spans across multiple municipalities, featuring the massive Svartisen glacier, deep fjords, mountain plateaus, and rich birch forests throughout its territory.
The park, established in 1989, contains archaeological evidence indicating human presence in the region dating back through thousands of years of settlement.
Local communities maintain traditional practices of reindeer herding and fishing within designated areas of the park, following centuries-old methods.
Several marked trails connect to cabins managed by hiking associations, while guided glacier walks require advance reservations and specialized equipment.
The Svartisen glacier within the park borders contains extensive underground cave systems formed through centuries of water erosion in limestone bedrock.
