Nordland’s national parks

Visitor Center National Park Nordland is authorised by the Environment Agency as a visitor center for the national parks of Saltfjellet-Svartisen, Junkerdal, Sjunkhatten, Rago and Láhko. You will also find information about the other national parks i Nordland; Børgefjell, Møysalen, Lomsdal-Visten and Lofotodden.

The greatest threat to biodiversity in Norway is the division and distruction of natural habitats. Nature reserves, national parks and other protected areas contribute to secure valuable nature and preserve areas of international, national and regional interest. Nordland´s nine national parks amounts to 5000 km2 of nature preserved for the future.
