Dovre is Norway’s highland heart — a mountainous municipality in Innlandet county where musk oxen roam, pilgrims hike ancient trails, and the mighty Snøhetta peak watches over it all. With around 2,500 residents and a landscape shaped by glaciers, valleys, and national parks, Dovre is a gateway to the wild. It’s where Norse legends echo through the hills and modern adventurers come to bike, hike, and breathe the alpine air.
