About the landscape conservation area
Skardsfjella and Hyllingsdalen is a uniquely beautiful mountain and birch forest area. Norway’s longest river, Glomma, has its source here. The untouched nature of the waterways with the mountain birch forest leaves its characteristic mark on the landscape. The area is a Sami cultural landscape where active reindeer herding takes place. There are few marked trails and little provision for outdoor activities in Skardsfjella and Hyllingsdalen.
Experience the conservation area
Skardsfjella and Hyllingsdalen are a large and relatively untouched mountain area with only a few marked trails and no tourist cabins providing accommodation. You can have great experiences in the area, either on skis or on foot, and preferably with a tent. Cycling on specifically marked routes and canoeing are also possible.
