About 250 Stone Age sites have been found, the oldest dating from 6300 BC. Finds from excavations of Stone Age sites show that the people hunted reindeer and ptarmigan. Moose and trout bones were also found.</p> <p id="mwIQ">Today, the natural resources on Hardangervidda are very valuable for the surrounding villages.</p> <p id="mwIg">Hardangervidda National Park was established in 1981. It differs from other Norwegian national parks because it has been used a great deal by local people, has many buildings and much privately owned land. Consequently, people use motorised vehicles to harvest resources like fish and game, to upkeep buildings and to run lodges and huts for hikers and skiers. Large flocks of sheep graze Hardangervidda in summer. Locals and tourists come to Hardangervidda to fish and hunt, as a source of food or recreation.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="3" id="mwIw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwARU"><h3 id="Landscape">Landscape</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwARY"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwARc">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hardangervidda&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Landscape" id="mwARg"><span id="mwARk">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwARo">]</span></span></div> <p id="mwJA">Hardangervidda is a barren, treeless mountain plateau at <span about="#mwt6" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwJQ" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"metre","href":"./Template:Metre"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"1,100–1,200"}},"i":0}}]}'>1,100–1,200</span><span typeof="mw:Entity" about="#mwt6"> </span><span about="#mwt6">m (3,600–3,900</span><span typeof="mw:Entity" about="#mwt6"> </span><span about="#mwt6">ft)</span> in elevation, with lakes, moors, rivers and streams. This kind of open, relatively even landscape is known as <i id="mwJg">vidde</i> in Norwegian. There are significant differences between the west side, which is dominated by rocky terrain and expanses of bare rock, and the east side, which is much flatter and more heavily vegetated. The prominent peak of Hårteigen (1,690 m/5,545 ft) is visible across much of the plateau.</p> <p id="mwJw">About 550 million years ago, the plateau was submerged. Gradually a sheet of rock drifted over the seabed, was compressed, folded and rose from the sea. What is now Western Norway rose the most, and greater erosion created deeper valleys, fjords and steeper mountains than in the east. Glaciers and melting ice at the end of the last ice age chiselled out the landscape we see today.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="4" id="mwKA"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwARs"><h3 id="Flora_and_fauna">Flora and fauna</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwARw"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAR0">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hardangervidda&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Flora and fauna" id="mwAR4"><span id="mwAR8">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwASA">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwKQ"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Flowers_on_the_Hardangervidda_plateau_-_Norway_-_panoramio.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwKg"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Flowers_on_the_Hardangervidda_plateau_-_Norway_-_panoramio.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Flowers_on_the_Hardangervidda_plateau_-_Norway_-_panoramio.jpg/220px-Flowers_on_the_Hardangervidda_plateau_-_Norway_-_panoramio.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="2978" data-file-height="2000" data-file-type="bitmap" height="148" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Flowers_on_the_Hardangervidda_plateau_-_Norway_-_panoramio.jpg/330px-Flowers_on_the_Hardangervidda_plateau_-_Norway_-_panoramio.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Flowers_on_the_Hardangervidda_plateau_-_Norway_-_panoramio.jpg/440px-Flowers_on_the_Hardangervidda_plateau_-_Norway_-_panoramio.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwKw"/></a><figcaption id="mwLA">View from road 7</figcaption></figure> <p id="mwLQ">The whole of the Hardangervidda is above the tree line. Its alpine climate enables the presence of many species of arctic animals and plants further south than anywhere else in Europe.</p> <p id="mwLg">Norway is, to all extents and purposes, the only country in Europe with remaining vestigial populations of the original wild mountain reindeer. Wild reindeer need Hardangervidda. The 9,000 wild reindeer (2009) here make up more than a quarter of all the wild reindeer in Norway. The large, continuous unspoiled area makes Hardangervidda particularly attractive to them. As the herds migrate between seasonal pastures and calving areas over the course of the year, they need a wide area. Wild reindeer are at their most vulnerable on the winter pasture and in the calving season in May. You might think it is easy to spot one of Hardangerviddas 9,000 wild reindeer, but that is not the case. They are shy. If you see a herd, consider yourself very lucky. Don’t try to follow them, but stand quietly and enjoy this rare sight. It is particularly important not to disturb wild reindeer during calving season. </p> <p id="mwLw">The flat landscape with its numerous lakes and wetlands distinguishes Hardangervidda from other mountainous areas in southern Norway. Trout is the most common fish. A permit is needed to fish in rivers and lakes.</p> <p id="mwMA">The largest populations of many kinds of ducks and other wetland species in southern Norway, live here. The breeding populations of black-throated divers, scaups, velvet scoters, common scoters, dotterels, Temminck’s stints, great snipes and shore larks are particularly valuable.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="5" id="mwMQ"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwASE"><h3 id="Climate">Climate</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwASI"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwASM">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hardangervidda&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Climate" id="mwASQ"><span id="mwASU">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwASY">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwMg"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Finse_-_no-nb_digifoto_20160222_00176_NB_MIT_FNR_01013_(cropped).jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwMw"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Finse_-_no-nb_digifoto_20160222_00176_NB_MIT_FNR_01013_(cropped).jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Finse_-_no-nb_digifoto_20160222_00176_NB_MIT_FNR_01013_%28cropped%29.jpg/220px-Finse_-_no-nb_digifoto_20160222_00176_NB_MIT_FNR_01013_%28cropped%29.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="5691" data-file-height="3921" data-file-type="bitmap" height="152" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Finse_-_no-nb_digifoto_20160222_00176_NB_MIT_FNR_01013_%28cropped%29.jpg/330px-Finse_-_no-nb_digifoto_20160222_00176_NB_MIT_FNR_01013_%28cropped%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Finse_-_no-nb_digifoto_20160222_00176_NB_MIT_FNR_01013_%28cropped%29.jpg/440px-Finse_-_no-nb_digifoto_20160222_00176_NB_MIT_FNR_01013_%28cropped%29.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwNA"/></a><figcaption id="mwNQ">Skiing near Finse in the 1930s, Hardangerjøkulen glacier covered by snow.

At any time of year, be prepared for sudden changes. The weather in Hardangervidda National Park can change very rapidly from sunny and warm to cold and rainy or even snowy, so it's important to bring along extra layers of clothing, like wool underwear and wind- and waterproof outerwear. For most people, late spring, summer and fall are the best times of year to visit Hardangervidda. Easter skiing across Hardangervidda is also popular, but is recommended for experienced skiers only. The winter storms can be challenging even for polar explorers like Amundsen. Many of the villages and cities surrounding Hardangervidda are popular all-year destinations.</p> <ul id="mwNw"><li id="mwOA"><b id="mwOQ">Summer</b>: June to August.
