Discover Hedmarksvidda
Hedmarksvidda is the southernmost spur of the mountain ridge between Østerdalen and Gudbrandsdalen. Southwards towards Hamar, the bare mountain slides into high-lying forested hills that continue further south between Mjøsa and Glomma all the way to Romerike. We call this area Hedmarken. Hedmarken and Hedmarksvidda are characterized by cultural landscapes and forests, but on Raudfjellet and in Ringsakerfjellet you can get over the tree line and get a feeling of the plateau.
DNT cabins on the Hedmarksvidda
Hamar and Hedemarken Trekking Association (HHT) has both self-service and no-service cabins that you as a DNT member can stay at. Most of the cabins are located after the Rondanestien trail that goes from Oslo to Hjerkinn, so it is also quite possible to embark on a long trip.

The area north of Øyungen has, in addition to the plateau landscape, Hedmarksvidda's highest peaks at over 1000 meters above sea level.
Follow these tips when traveling in mountainous areas with wild reindeer:
- Follow marked trails
- Stay still if you see wild reindeer, so that they can move away undisturbed
- Use binoculars and keep your distance
- Keep dogs on a leash
- Stay low in the terrain and move in the wind so that the animals do not get the smell from you
- Keep an eye on the dog and follow the rules on leashing
In winter, the area north of Vollkoia, Gåsbu and Budor is an eldorado for skiers. See the overview of prepared ski trails on the Hedmark plateau on skisporet.no

Be considerate of the wild reindeer on a trip
In many mountain areas in southern Norway, you can encounter wild reindeer. Both hikers and wild reindeer love to hike, and we often use the same areas. But the wild reindeer are vulnerable to disturbances and need peace. It is therefore important that we pay attention when we are on a trip. Read more about how to take wild reindeer into account here.
