Follow in the footsteps of thousands of pilgrims as you hike along the famous Pilgrim’s Path across the Dovre Mountain plateau. This trekking adventure combines rich cultural heritage, dramatic Norwegian landscapes, and encounters with the unique wildlife of Dovrefjell National Park, home to musk oxen, wild reindeer, and rare alpine plants.
Walking through this region is like stepping into Norwegian history while surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Vast open landscapes stretch for miles, with rolling hills, rugged highlands, and tundra-like vegetation of moss, lichen, and arctic flowers. Crystal-clear streams and mountain lakes dot the terrain, while the crisp mountain air and serene silence make the experience truly rejuvenating.

Hike the Pilgrim`s Path with Discover Norway!
Since the marking of the Pilgrim's Path began in 1994, more than 500 kilometers of trails through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway have been marked with the pilgrim logo. The logo along the Pilgrim's Path is easy to recognize. It combines the landmark symbol, the valknut, with a form of the Cross of St. Olav. The logo is trademarked and managed by the National Pilgrim Center (NPS), which also coordinates and develops the Pilgrim's Path – St. Olav's Ways to Trondheim.
All approved St. Olav's Ways must have Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim as the destination and be linked to the history of St. Olav. The Pilgrim's Path through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway attained the status of a European Cultural Route through the Council of Europe's cultural routes program in May 2010.

We found the hiking trip very special. It was such a beautiful area, very diverse also in terms of plants, trees, dry, wet, rivers, and the view on the mountains.
It was interesting to read all the information about the history of the path along the way, and we met nice people who were walking to Trondheim.
