Norwegian alpine wilderness with Scandinavia's second-largest glacier and Sami cultural heritage

Saltfjellet, Svartisen National Park

Saltfjellet–Svartisen National Park is a vast protected wilderness area in Nordland county, northern Norway, encompassing over 2,100 square kilometres of diverse mountain and valley landscapes. The park spans a pronounced west-east gradient, transitioning from the rocky shores of the Nordfjorden coast through high alpine plateaux down to birch-covered valleys and open tundra. At its southwestern corner lies Svartisen, Scandinavia's second-largest glacier covering approximately 370 square kilometres, a dramatic ice mass that feeds a network of meltwater rivers and lakes throughout the region. The park's underlying calcareous bedrock creates conditions for a remarkably rich flora, including several regionally rare plant species not found elsewhere in Norway. Traditional Sami reindeer husbandry remains an integral part of the landscape, with local grazing districts maintaining rights to pasture their herds within the park boundaries. The park forms the centrepiece of a larger protected area of about 2,839 square kilometres that includes adjacent landscape protection areas and nature reserves.
