    • SUMMER WEEK PACKAGE

    Enjoy the peace and quiet of Rondane and Dovrefjell National Park during a variety of family friendly activities. You stay in a cosy log cabin at Rondane River Lodge with possibility to taste delicious home-made meals by the lady of the house.

    Day 2:

    After a tasty breakfast you drive to your first adventure while enjoying the dramatic scenery along Rondaneveien, one of the 18 national scenic routes in Norway. Then it’s time to set off for half or full day canoe trip on the Atna River which you follow downstreams. Relax and admire the wonderful views on the mountains and make a stop at one of the sandy beaches you pass. On request it’s also possible to do a 2-days canoe trip with overnight in a tent. Prices on request.

     

    Day 3:

    Early transfer to Øverdalssætra where you will meet the goats at a traditional seter (mountain farm). You are free to help during the miking process and can taste freshly made goatcheese during a typical Norwegian breakfast at the farm. Start climbing Mount Pika afterwards (1157m) with a 360° view over the surrounding mountains and Rondane National Park. Count about 3 to 4 hours to complete the hike before descending to Rondane River Lodge again. On request the hike can also be guided.

     

    Day 4:

    The iconic musk ox has its natural habitat in Dovrefjell National Park which is easily accessible from Hjerkinn, about a one hour drive from Rondane River Lodge.

There are good opportunities to spot also grouse, plover and maybe even a flock of wild reindeer.

     

    Day 5:

    Learn the different techniques of sweet water fishing during an introduction. Fishing equipment can be rented seperately.

     

    Are you keen on meeting the king of the forest? Increase your chances and sign up for our twilight moose safari. We start around sunset and drive to the best spots in the surroundings of Rondane River Lodge where moose is regularly present. Unfortunately we can’t guarantee any sightings but it will be a memorable experience anyway. Did you know Rondane River Lodge is situated in one of the most densely populated areas of wild moose and spring time offers the best chances for success?

     

    Day 6:

    World class white water rafting is waiting for you in Sjoa Valley about a 1 hour drive from Rondane River Lodge. Sit tight, paddle hard and get the adrenaline rush of your lifetime. Trips of different level are possible as well for families that want to bring their youngest.

     

    Day 7: 

    Today the choice is all yours. We can recommend hikes for all abilities but you can also go cycling, horse riding or improve your survival skills during a bushcraft introduction with a skilled guide. Or what about another scenic drive on gravel roads across the national park or visit the UNESCO World Heritage mining town Røros and lake Femund near the Swedish border.
