Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
The hiking season runs only in July and August. The most accessible route into the park is
from the Spranghaugen car park, about 13km uphill along a good road from Otta and via
the toll road (Nkr20). From there, it's a straightforward 6.2km (1½ hour) hike to
Rond-
vassbu
, where there's a popular, staffed DNT hut. From Rondvassbu, it's a five-hour return
climb to the summit of
Storronden
. Alternatively, head for the spectacular view from the
more difficult summit of
Vinjeronden
(2044m), then tackle the narrow ridge leading to
the neighbouring peak,
Rondslottet
(about six hours return from Rondvassbu).
The best maps to use are Statens Kartverk's
Rondane
(1:100,000; Nkr99) and
Rondane
Sør
(1:50,000).

A comfortable upmarket option with good spa facilities, including pedicures for worn-out
hikers' feet and pine-tinged rooms that are unusually good value. The restaurant serves
hearty Norwegian and international fare (set dinner menu Nkr200). It's roughly halfway
