Folgefonna National Park

About

Tourists have been drawn to Folgefonna National Park since 1833 to witness its vast glacial wilderness, second to none across the country. Three glaciers - Nordre Folgefonna, Midtre Folgefonna, and Søndre Folgefonna - stand majestically in the park, creating the third largest ice cap in Norway at 168 square kilometers. 5,500 mm of annual precipitation sculpts the terrain as it gradually moves downhill, creating a breathtaking backdrop. Adventurers can spend their visit skiing on alpine mountains or gliding across the glaciers, then cool off in the fjord’s refreshing waters. Wildlife enthusiasts will be amongst the nesting grounds of golden eagles and ptarmigans, and meadow pipits thrive above the treeline. Visit the Folgefonn Centre to delve deeper into the natural wonders of the park and appreciate the significance of this remarkable national treasure.
