Folldal is Innlandet’s high-altitude time capsule - a municipality where copper mines shaped the skyline, reindeer still roam, and the air is crisp enough to bottle. With around 1,500 residents and the highest administrative center in Norway (712m above sea level), Folldal is the kind of place where national parks outnumber traffic lights, and the local cave tour ends 1.6 km inside a mountain. It’s got mining heritage, horseback trails, and a roadside viewpoint that doubles as a concrete sculpture.
