Norway's National Parks

Summary There are thirty-one destinations in Norway's National Park system, and most are located in remote and dramatic mountain landscapes. This means the outdoors enthusiast can find pristine wilderness conditions without the crowds - what a perfect escape! First, it's off to Børgefjell National Park in Northern Norway, straddling the border with Sweden. Before hosts Chris Turner and Joanna Curlee tramp over moss and tundra in the high country, they set up a base camp at a local farm, which offers delicious meals and comfortable rooms. Inside the park, the native Sami people have gathered to mark their reindeer, as they've been doing for thousands of years. Chris and Joanna are invited to share a meal inside a kåta (a Sami tent). Farther south, in Jostedalsbreen National Park, you'll find Europe's largest mainland glacier, and beautiful, steep-sided valleys with massive waterfalls. Joining a hundred years of travelers, Chris and Joanna trek to the base of the Briksdal Glacier, strap crampons onto their boots, and climb its icy slopes. Afterwards, they retreat to a nearby farm for a traditional Norwegian meal: leg of lamb with lingonberry sauce.
