Mågålaupet

The Mågålaupet gorge stretches 100 meters along the Driva River, featuring steep walls that reach depths of 10 meters with a narrow passage of 1.5 meters.

The geological formation of Mågålaupet began after the last ice age, with the Driva River continuously carving through the hard gneiss bedrock at 1 millimeter per year.

The name of this natural formation reflects the local Norwegian dialect, representing the geographical characteristics of the zigzag-shaped gorge in the Trøndelag region.

Located at coordinates 62.5°N and 9.587222°E, visitors can access the canyon through marked paths and find camping spots near the main road concealed by trees.

The canyon contains a series of giant kettles formed by the continuous erosion process, where the river has carved intricate patterns into the gneiss rock formation.
