Overview
Take a trip to Odda on your Norway Vacation
Odda is a small village situated at the southern end of the Sorfjorden, an arm of the beautiful well-known Hardangerfjord. It is also next to the Folgefonna Glacier and the Hardangervidda National park.
The Folgefonna National Park is located on the Folgefonna peninsula and includes the village of Odda. It also includes 3 glaciers and is the third-largest ice cap in Norway. The Hardangervidda National Park is Norway's largest national park. It spreads across the Hardanger mountain plateau and serves as a popular destination while on a Norway vacation for activities such as hiking, climbing, fishing, and cross-country skiing. The Norwegian Mountain Touring Association maintains a comprehensive network of huts and paths across Hardangervidda. It has the southernmost stock of several arctic animals and plants. Its wild reindeer herds are among the largest in the world. Several hundred nomadic Stone Age settlements have been found in the area, most likely related to the migration of the reindeer.

If you can, plan your vacation around so you can participate in Constitution Day on May 17th. It’s Norway’s national day, but unlike most countries, it’s not military or political. It’s a huge, joyful celebration of children, culture, and national pride.
You have to try glogg, Norway’s popular mulled wine. It’s a personal favourite
With regard to packing for your trip - Layer up. Carry an umbrella and raincoat because sometimes it gets super cold super fast. And bring along a bathing suit so you can enjoy one of the many saunas there!
