Alp culture | The Locals - Jotunheimen
Discover more about alp farming and rural culture in and around Jotunhe
The Norwegian alp culture was added to the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage in 2024. Our valley, Sjodalen, has a particularly rich alp history with numerous summer farms and large farm buildings, adapted for summer and - earlier - winter farming.
On this walk, we visit several of the oldest summer farms and share insights into the history and alp culture through small stories. It's a varied stroll both on and off the path, with many stops along the way, in a quiet part of the valley where we know every stone and tree (by name!).
Meeting point: Hindsæter Hotel
