The exceptional Hardangervidda Natursenter is a fantastic introduction to one of Norway's most beautiful national parks, and is located 6.5km southeast of Eidfjord in Øvre Eidfjord. As well as providing detailed trekking maps and advice on trails and skiing, the centre screens a 20-minute film with dramatic panoramic footage of the park: if you can't visit its inner depths on foot, this is the next best thing.
There are also interactive displays, informative explanations of the region's natural history, fish tanks of mountain species, and interesting geology exhibits.
