Skarvan and Roltdalen National Park, National park in Trøndelag, Norway
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.
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.
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.
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.
Roltdalen valley is one of the largest roadless mountain areas in southern Trøndelag, remaining largely untouched by modern infrastructure. This isolation helps preserve the quiet and natural rhythm of the landscape.
