Langsua National Park is situated between the Valdres and Gudbrandsdalen valleys. The region is accessible via several road networks and public transportation routes.
Primary trailheads into Langsua include Lillehammer in the east, and Beitostølen or Yddin in the west. Alternatively, hikers can start from Gjendesheim in Jotunheimen and trek southeast via Sikkilsdalseter toward Oskampen. With proper planning, multi-day point-to-point or circuit treks can easily be completed without a private vehicle.
