Description:
Dovrefjell Sunndalsfjella National Park is located in Norway. The park covers an area of 654 square miles (1,693 sq km).
There are 10 additional protected areas, of which two are biotopes, that combine with the national park to create 1,686 square miles (4,366 sq km) of wilderness that is protected for future generations.
The heart of the park is grounded in the captivating picturesque views of the Dovrefjell mountain range. The striking summits tower over the luscious plains and valleys creating a diverse sanctuary of wilderness and wildlife.
The dramatic Dovrefjell mountain range is blanketed with snow throughout the majority of the year. This plateau of mountains combined with the drastically cold temperatures gives way to an Arctic-like ecosystem that supports the wildlife of the area.
The pinnacle wildlife of the park includes the country’s only remaining wild reindeer, wolverines, and the renowned musk oxen. Some of the other intriguing species of the area include arctic fox, the golden eagle, and the gyrfalcon.
