Skarvan and Roltdalen National Park, National park in Trøndelag, Norway
Description
Skarvan and Roltdalen National Park is a large protected area combining forests, mountain peaks, valleys, and lakes across several municipalities. The landscape transitions from dense evergreen forests in lower areas to open moorland and bare mountains at higher elevations.
History
The park was established in 2004 to protect this mountain landscape. Its creation reflected Norway's broader commitment to preserving important natural areas in the region.
Culture
The valley holds traces of old mountain farming with abandoned huts and paths that guided people for centuries. These places show how communities adapted to life in this rugged terrain.
Practical
You can enter the park from several directions, with main access points spread across the surrounding municipalities. Parking is available at the established entry points for visitors.
