Blåfjella–Skjækerfjella National Park

The park spans 1,924 square kilometers across Verdal, Snåsa, Grong, Lierne, and Steinkjer municipalities, featuring mountain plains, lakes, and forested valleys.

Established in 2004, the park incorporated the former Gressåmoen National Park, which previously covered 182 square kilometers of protected wilderness.

The land holds numerous Sami cultural monuments, including settlements, gathering places, burial sites, and sacred locations from centuries of indigenous presence.

Visitors can stay in mountain farms such as Holden, Gressåmoen, Gaundalen, and Gjefsjøen, which offer accommodations and access to hiking trails.

The park contains the location where spruce trees were first introduced to Norway and supports 28 different mammal species, including Arctic foxes.
