Rago National Park Attractions

The Rago National Park, north of Bodø between E 6 and the Swedish frontier, has an area of only 171sq.km/66sq.mi. Beyond the frontier are the Swedish National Parks of Padjelanta and Sarek. The park is reached by turning off E 6 at Nordfjord, north of Fauske; cars must be left in the village of Lakshola.

This is good walking country, but there is little in the way of overnight accommodation, and walkers need to be properly equipped for the damp climate. The variety and beauty of the scenery, however, make Rago well worth a visit: nowhere else in Norway can such variety be found within such a small area.
