Lausgarda: Vardalsåsen

1 60.79°, 10.40°
About location

Lausgarda is best known within Innlandet for its position on Vardalsåsen, the wooded upland west of Gjøvik. This rural area is crossed by Fv33, a regional road running through conifer woodland rather than an urban centre. Vardalsåsen forms part of the high ground above the Mjøsa district, centred on Norway’s largest lake to the east of Gjøvik. The name Vardal recalls the former municipality that covered this side of Gjøvik; in 1964 it was merged with Gjøvik, Biri and Snertingdal to create today’s municipality. Lausgarda represents the quieter, forested side of Innlandet, where road travel links scattered farms and upland communities.

Region Innlandet

Among the regions of Norway, Innlandet stands out for its broad inland sweep of lakes, forests and mountain valleys. Lake Mjøsa, Norway’s largest lake, forms an important southern focal point, while the Gudbrandsdalen valley follows the Lågen north towards higher country. Lillehammer gives the area an international reference point: it hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics, and its Maihaugen open-air museum presents buildings and everyday traditions from across Norway. Farther north, Rondane National Park protects a high-mountain landscape associated with wild reindeer. This is a region of farms, timber country and transport routes linking Oslo with central Norway.

Country Norway

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
