Skjak

Skjåk occupies the upper Ottadalen valley in Norway. The River Otta follows this broad inland valley, where cultivated fields and birch woodland meet steep mountain slopes. Large parts of the municipality extend into Reinheimen and Breheimen national parks, linking the settled valley to extensive high-mountain country and long-standing summer grazing traditions. Skjåk is among Norway’s driest areas, and local farmers have for generations channelled stream water across meadows and fields through irrigation systems. Bismo serves as the municipal centre, while the Rv15 road connects the valley with mountain routes to the west and Gudbrandsdalen to the east.
