Hardangervidda, Northern Europe's largest high mountain plateau, features open plains and weather-exposed mountain terrain. The vast distances and open landscape make high-quality maps essential for planning and safe travel.

Hardangervidda

Hardangervidda is Northern Europe’s largest high mountain plateau and covers an area of approximately 8,000 km². The plateau is situated mainly at 1,100–1,200 m above sea level, with Sandfloeggi (1,721 m above sea level) as its highest point. The landscape is characterized by open plains, long plateaus, and rolling mountain sections, while the western parts are more alpine and dramatic.

The area has a rich flora and fauna and is the habitat for Europe’s largest wild reindeer herd, as well as species such as the arctic fox and snowy owl. Hardangervidda extends from Røldal in the south to Finsedalen by the Bergen Line in the north, forming a large, continuous mountain area between east and west.

Hardangervidda offers great opportunities for travel in both summer and winter, with an extensive network of marked trails, waymarked winter routes, and numerous mountain lodges. The terrain is suitable for everything from short day trips to long hut-to-hut tours, as well as backcountry skiing and cycling trips such as the classic Rallarvegen.

The vast distances, weather-exposed conditions, and open landscape make high-quality maps essential for safe planning and travel on Hardangervidda, whether you are on foot, on skis, or combining multiple modes of transport.
