Description
A beautiful walk for the pilgrims seeking peace and quiet in the rugged nature and the lush cultural landscape of Norway.
Valldalsleden follows in the footsteps of the Christian Viking king Olav II, who fled from his enemies in 1028. After his death in 103o he was buried in Trondheireland soon canonized to sainthood. The Nidaros Cathedral was built on his grave.
When you embark on the 384 km long pilgrimage, you hike from the fjords over the mountains of Reinheimen, through the Roms Valley, to the foothills of Dovrefjell. After 150 km, Valladalsleden ends in Fokstugu. You continue on Gudbrandsdalsleden, the ancient pilgrim route to Trondheim. You cross the spectacular Dovre plateau, walk through the forests and fields of Trandelag, and finish in front of the Nidaros Cathedral.
