Børgefjell

Børgefjell National Park stretches from Trøndelag into Nordland. Much of the area is high mountains. The national park includes valleys, mountain plateaus, raging rivers and mountain lakes, where you can catch your own dinner. Allow several days to enjoy some of the best nature in Norway.

Børgefjell National Park is worth “squandering” a bit of time in. It’s possible to go on a day hike but we recommend allowing several days to explore the area to the full. Børgefjell is not for everyone, nor should it be. A long hike demands good physical fitness and hiking experience. The mountains, lakes and rivers in Børgefjell provide good habitats for the animals and birds that live and find food here. Most people associate Børgefjell with wilderness, mountain peaks, expansive plateaus and mountain lakes. However, it’s important to remember that the area is an old cultural landscape, where people still have their workplace. Southern Sami domesticated reindeer husbandry takes place in Børgefjell. This means that you can see activity as well as traces of reindeer husbandry both inside and outside of the national park.
