When travelling north through the Eastern part of Norway, Rondane National Tourist Route – between Gudbrandsdalen and Østerdalen - is an excellent alternative.
Hidden along the “blue mountain” route are numerous gems just waiting to be discovered. Idyllic beauty spots on the river bank offering peace and tranquillity, lookout points with fantastic views to the “blue mountains” and trails leading through mountain pine forests, old hunting grounds and areas with other traces of our ancestors’ way of life. If you are to find the hidden gems along the way, you’ll have to stop. Stroll along some of the trails, sit down and relax, enjoy the view or just be present. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet a wild reindeer or 10 along the way.

The main river, Trysilelva, is 100 km long in Trysil, with quiet backwaters and small and large rapids.
There are a lot of tarns and lakes in the Trysil district, all containing many kinds of fish.
A number of fishing points are easily accessible. Many of them have barbeques and bonfire sites.
You can hire fishing equipment and a boat, or even a guide to show you the best places for fishing.

With its vast plateaus, the mountain is easy to navigate. Combined with countless forest lanes and quiet roads, the area offers excellent cycling opportunities for everyone.
Mjøstråkk is the name of the 250-kilometre long cycle ride around Mjøsa, Norway’s largest lake.

The cycle route is well signposted and the roads are a combination of gravel and tarmac. Map over bicycle rides can be purchased at the Tourist Offices around Mjøsa
