Valldalsleia is a pilgrimage route that follows in the footsteps of St. Olav. For Olav, it was an escape route, but for today's hikers, it is an experiential path. When St. Olav fled the country in the winter of 1028-1029, he beached his ships in Valldal and from there he walked over the mountain to Lesja and Dovre. From Dovre, one can join the Gudbrandsdalsleden, which leads to Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. For more information, please visit https://pilegrimsleden.no/en/trails/valldalsleden.
