Fv27 runs through the Atndalen with the Rondane massif for company, past Lake Atnsjøen and the Sohlbergplassen viewpoint to a 1,054-metre high point near Muen. Alongside sits Norway’s oldest national park, protected since 1962.

A National Tourist Route on county road 27 running through the Atndalen valley between Folldal and the Sollia and Enden area in eastern Norway, framing the Rondane massif. The route passes Lake Atnsjoen and the Sohlbergplassen viewpoint, with the high point near Muen at about 1054 metres, alongside Norway’s oldest national park, established in 1962. Mind the exposed mountain weather, elk on the road and quiet unlit stretches.
