Arrows, shoes and hunting equipent – melted out from snow drifts in Jotunheimen – are displayed in the ice walls. The ice tunnel also has a cinema hall where you can see a movie of the making of the tunnel.

There are also exhibited machines that have been used for road construction and rock blasting.

Reviewed By linetrip - Oslo, Norway

Thoroughly curated museum with both Norwegian and English information boards. Because of covid-19, the touch boards were not in use when we visited, but this is totally understandable. The mine museum was located inside a mine, which we really liked. There are benches and toilets placed around the park, and a nice café too. We recommend bringing a rain jacket in case of rain, because there will be walking from building to building.

Welcome back in the summer - visit the award-winning viewpoint SNØHETTA (The Norwegian wild reindeer pavilion) at the roof of Norway - Dovrefjell, and learn about nature trough experience! A 1,5km hiking trail from the parking lot leads you to the building with the amazing view

Reviewed By Sognadame - Sogndal Municipality, Norway

The Snøhetta viewpoint is a short walk from the parking area, in easy terrain with planty of informative plates built into the path. Views are great. I fthe weather is good you will see Snøhetta. If you are lucky you will see musk. The viewpoint architecture is impressive and worth the walk alone. The inside is a place for sitting down, taking it in, feeling the warmth from the fireplace (which is also stunning), and reflect over how beautiful nature is and how lucky we are to experience this!
