Welcome to Valdres

The beautiful region of Valdres extends from the lush and water rich valleys in the south, to Jotunheimen’s spectacular mountain range in the north. There are a large number of activities to choose from, all year round, whether you are looking for an active or relaxing vacation.

The town center, Fagernes, is located in the very heart of the region, and is a natural starting point for many great adventures. Our main tourist information service is located here. You'll meet Valdres hosts who look forward to show you the very best of what our region has to offer.

Explore the National Tourist Route Valdresflye, Jotunheimen National Park, the famous Besseggen hike, The Mjølkevegen cycling route, the Valdres Folk Museum, 6 stave churches and many other cultural sites. Taste the local cuisine and visit one of many summer mountain farms. There is an endless number of activities, but for some it's rewarding enough to find a viewpoint and take in the powerful nature.

Enjoy your stay in Valdres!
