Fagernes

About

Fagernes, a small town in the municipality of Nord-Aurdal, is a small artery opening up to the heart of the Valdres region. Kilometers of gravel roads stretch throughout the surrounding areas, perfect for cycling through breathtaking scenery and pasture farms where the scent of local food wafts through the air. Try the famous rømmegrøt, a creamy porridge with cinnamon, sugar, and butter, before visiting the huge open air Valdres Folk Museum situated on the bank of Lake Strandefjorden. Go fishing or boating on the lake, chill out by the waterfront or catch a performance at the Valdres Summer Symphony festival, which attracts classical music enthusiasts from all around the world.
