About MASSIV

From hilly Breheimen and brutal Jotunheimen, the route continues into lush Skarvheimen and over the mighty Hardangervidda. No hike in our elongated country can offer such a wide range when it comes to nature experiences.

DNT's offer

Starting at Sota Sæter in Breheimen and Haukeliseter as the final station, MASSIV takes you through four of Norway's most spectacular mountain areas.

You can walk the entire MASSIVE in one go or attack it in stages over several seasons. Is it most tempting to discover Breheimen in winter costume and explore Hardangervidda in the summer? The route is divided into four stages, one for each mountain area. So set yourself a goal, alone or with family or friends and carry out MASSIVE as you want. 

Signature

Practical

The entire route goes along the Norwegian Trekking Association's marked trails and you spend the night in valet and self-service cabins. You therefore do not have to carry a tent, sleeping bag and food, and can pack as light as possible.

CheckOUT
In the UT app, you can register your visits to the cabins along the route.

Hall of Fame

Once you've hiked all four mountain areas, you'll earn a rightful place in our Hall of Fame, the official MASSIVE badge, and a t-shirt as proof of the feat.
