Dombås
Pop 1200
Dombås, a popular adventure and winter-sports centre, comprises little more than a couple
of petrol stations and a shopping complex, and is far outdone in the beauty stakes by its
surroundings. It does make a convenient break for travellers between the highland national
parks and the western fjords, though. That said, there's more choice of activities to the
north in Oppdal, while Sjoa is the region's best location for rafting. The Rauma Railway
from Dombås to Åndalsnes is one of Norway's most beautiful train rides.
Activities
Activities in the surrounding national parks can be arranged through the tourist office from
mid-June through to mid-August.
