Visit local Jotunheimen farms

Valdres and Jotunheimen are located in the county of Oppland, in the centre of Norway. Jotunheimen has for centuries attracted tourists and hikers to explore the mountains, and officially became a national park in 1980. In Valdres, which is the region located South West of Jotunheimen, hunting, farming, fishing, agriculture and forestry have been the most important industries.
