Tucked into the upper Sysendalen valley on the western side of the Hardangervidda plateau, Maurset is a place whose character is shaped by its high-mountain climate and broad, treeless terrain. Norwegian National Road 7 follows the valley, linking the Eidfjord district on Hardangerfjord with Norway’s interior across Hardangervidda. Maurset lies close to Hardangervidda National Park, mainland Norway’s largest national park, where marked routes continue into open moorland and rocky uplands. To the west, Vøringsfossen drops into Måbødalen, a defining natural landmark of Eidfjord. The Norwegian Nature Centre Hardangervidda in Øvre Eidfjord introduces the plateau’s wildlife and geology.
