Mellomfjell in Trollheimen

The trip idea started with hiking in Southern Norway for 2 weeks. I chose a continuous line of travel through some of those evocative Norwegian names: Trollheimen, Dovrefjell and Rondane. Then I noticed this uninterrupted line of highlands going further south that eventually became the final leg of my trip through the Lillehammer and Hedmarksvidda regions.

Norway is well known for its spectacular scenery. I also realized how varied its landscapes can be and enjoyed both the remoteness and the Norwegian hiking culture.

A few details about gear and skills in my 2022 Norway trip that I’ve found worth mentioning.

Locus Gear Khufu DCF tent

I got this tent in the months prior to the trip with the intention of making it my main, 3 season thru-hiking shelter, lightweight enough to take it anywhere, solid enough to take it to places like Norway. I had the chance to use the tent and play with the different setups before the Norway trip, if only to learn about pitching and know what to expect. I didn’t have the chance to use it under challenging conditions. What follows is about the Khufu in the Norway trip.

In the summer of 2022, I travelled in Norway to walk train station to train station between Oppdal, county Trondelag, and Hamar, Innlandet county, taking a high line across 3 mountain regions as well as National Parks/Protected Areas, Trollheimen, Dovrefjell and Rondane, and the high moors in the less renowned Hedmarksvidda region.

When I think about my summer 2022 trip in Norway, these below are the subjects that first and most often come to mind.

Scenery

This almost goes without saying but let me remind myself that Norway is painfully scenic. I wouldn’t need to try to find the beauty, it’d just be there, all the time, no room for doubt. Add to that the diversity in environments and landscapes but let me elaborate on that under its own title.

Overview
