Experience Lesjaskogsvatnet lake and Lesja

Fishing in Lesja

Lesjaskogsvatnet lake flows into the Rauma and Gudbrandsdalslågen rivers. The lake offers good fishing and has both trout and grayling. We sell fishing licenses.

Lesja also offers excellent fishing opportunities in rivers and mountain lakes.

We rent out of canoes, rowboats and pedalos! These can be rented at reception.

Bike trips and hiking trips

The area also offers great bike trips along the shared-use path or the wide trail/gravel road running alongside Lesjaskogsvatnet lake. There is a continuous cycle route between Bjorli and Dombås, and we also offer bike rental.

There are endless trip opportunities in Lesja, from hiking and bike trails in the valley, to high mountain terrain above the tree line. We have Reinheimen National Park to the west, and Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park to the north.

Valldalsleden

The Pilgrim Path starts from the fjords and leads into the mountains, following the footsteps of Olav Haraldsson. It starts in Valldal, and meets Gudbrandsdalsleden in Dovre.

We are located along the path, which can be experienced in short sections or as a hike over several days.

Climbing park and museums

The Høyt & Lavt Climbing Park is located at Bjorli and offers exciting challenges for all ages.

West of Bjorli is the Sagelva Hydropower Center. During the summer months, visitors can experience a full-scale plant powered by water.

Lesja Open Air Museum is located in the center of Lesja and offers many exciting experiences and activities during the summer. Among other things, they have an exhibition about wild reindeer and trapping.

Lorkverna in Lordalen valley is a nice destination for a long bike ride from Lesjaskogsvatnet camping. The facility is operated by Lesja Historical Society and is open all year round.
