Discover a gateway to Rondane National Park

Strømbu rest stop is an excellent starting point for hikes in Rondane National Park, including highlights such as the magnificent Høgronden Mountain and the lush Skjerdalen Valley.

Relax and enjoy the views of the winding Atna River from the rest area’s roof-top terrace. Inside the main building is a welcoming waiting room with a fireplace and large windows. The rest stop was designed by the architect Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk and completed in 2008.

During the summer season, you’ll find a staffed kiosk and information center.
