Every season brings its own way of moving through the wilderness.

Things to do

Whether you come for snow, silence, or summer light, the area around Drevsjø offers a rare kind of slow adventure.

Dog sledding with polar dogs

Experience the silence of a dog sled crossing frozen lakes and forest trails near Femund lake.

Wildlife watching

Moose, reindeer, and the tracks of larger predators are all part of the landscape. Early mornings and late evenings are the best times to quietly observe.

Hiking & forest walks

Trails and old forest roads lead through pine, birch, and open moor. You can walk for hours without meeting anyone.

Fishing

One fishing license opens access to 900 lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams in the region. Femund Engerdal is a popular destination for anglers of all kinds.

Hunting

Engerdal has Norway's highest density of hunters. Moose hunting and small game hunting on the vast state commons around Drevsjø are the highlights of the autumn.

Cold-climate stargazing & aurora magic

With almost no light pollution, the night sky here is spectacular. On clear winter nights, the stars and aurora feel close enough to touch.
