Folldal

See photos of Folldal on Google Images →

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.

Getting There

Folldal sits on the Fv29, between the E6 and Alvdal. No trains, no airport - just scenic roads and national parks in every direction. The Rondane Tourist Route (Fv27) runs through town, and the village center is walkable. Bring a car if you want to chase glaciers, galleries, and grazing horses in one afternoon.
