2016 rago, Norway
Rago National Park has a magnificent rugged landscape, and is known for its steep mountains and cascading rivers. A scatter of pine trees grows among treeless upland heaths and smooth rock slabs dotted with erratic boulders. The flora is rather poor but includes some rare mountain plants. Wolverine breed here, while the lynx visits occasionally. Rago abuts the Swedish national parks of Padjelanta, Sarek and Stora Sjøfallet, and together they make up the largest protected area in Europe, covering a combined area of 5.700 km2.
Splendid scenery awaits hikers visiting Rago. The natural approach route for a visitor to Rago is along Storskogdalen. You will find several marked trails and 2 unstaffed tourist cabins. However, the capacity is limited, so a tent is advisable, to be on the safe side. |
