Innervisten
Innervisten is one of the gateways to the Lomsdal-Visten National Park where the pristine forests are closest at hand, and where you will soon have the wilderness to yourself.

Bønådalen
Visitors to the head of the Vistenfjord are delighted to discover a scenic jewel.
Laksmarkdalen – Børjedalen
Every valley in the national park has its distinctive character. With a fjord arm at one end and a tidal flow at the other, Laksmarkdalen and Børjedalen – which is really a single valley – is especially striking.

Tosbotn
Tosbotn is an easily accessible gateway south of Lomsdal-Visten National Park.
Bjønnstokkvatnan lakes
The hike to this idyllic lake is manageable for most outdoor enthusiasts.

An invigorating morning bath in Midtre (middle) Breivatnet! The water may be cold, but no complaints about the view. In the middle of the photo is Lauvvasstinden. Photo Marius Nergård Pettersen.
Breivatnan lakes
Breivatnan are amongst the largest lakes in the national park – and the fish of an angler’s dreams might well be lurking in its depths.
Strompdalen
Come to Strompdalen if you want to see a real fairytale forest!

Søre Austerdalen
The route through the valley of Søre Austerdalen, situated between Børjedalen and Henriksdalen, is at times rather twisted.
Lappskardet
Lappskardet pass links the Lomsdalen and the Breivatnan lakes area with the valley of Titingsdalen.
The first snow has settled on Lappskardet pass. In the foreground is Lappskardvatna lakes, while Middagsfjellet, Lauvasstinden and Breidvasstinden define the horizon. Photo Marius Nergård Pettersen.

Tettingsdalen
Tettingsdalen, also called Titingsdalen, is a long sheltered valley with a friendly terrain. This valley with the undemanding landscape lies just beyond the edge of Lomsdal-Visten National Park.
Trofors
The village of Trofors, in Grane municipality, is a great base for excursions east into the Lomsdal-Visten National Park.

Kvitfjellet guards the west of the valley. A summit hike there is lengthy but quite manageable. Photo Marius Nergård Pettersen.
Stavassdalen
Forest and marshland surrounded by high mountains – Stavassdalen is popular with a varied crowd: families, couples taking their Sunday walk, as well as wilderness enthusiasts.
Skjørlægda
Walking amongst giant trees feels indescribable.
Afraid of the dark? At dusk, gnarled pines might seem to come alive, but they have no ill intent. Photo Marius Nergård Pettersen.

Sørvassdalen
There is no reason to spend your days inside. The valley of Sørvassdalen is certainly worth a visit.
