Hardangervidda-crossing the mountain plateau

1100/11

Hein Seter. Foto: Kristin Baune BochudThe tour starts in the north-east of the mountain plateau. This part of Hardangervidda is open and plain with soft ups and downs. The terrain changes a bit the last days to more hilly landscape. For those who prefer shorter distances between the cabins, this tour is a good choice.
