* 1962 – Rondane National Park is established as Norway's first national park.

Norway is now preparing to apply for nomination as a World Heritage Site for areas with traces and traditions of reindeer hunting in Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park, Reinheimen National Park and Rondane National Park in Central Sør-Norge ( Southern Norway ).

It is located between Rondane, which lies to its southeast, and Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella on its northwest.

It is the site of the Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park, lies just north of Jotunheimen National Park and lies just west of Rondane National Park, so tourism and outdoor sports such as skiing are also important.

Kvam is located at the northern end of the Peer Gynt Road, which passes through high roads with excellent views of the Jotunheimen, Dovrefjell, and Rondane mountain.

Large parts of the very first national park in Norway, Rondane National Park is situated in the municipality of Sel and has its main entrances from the mountain villages of Høvringen and Mysuseter.

Rondane National Park () is the oldest national park in Norway, established on 21 December 1962.

The highest point is Rondslottet (" The Rondane Castle ") at an altitude of 2, 178 m ( 7, 146 ft ).

Following the expansion, it is now only approximately 1 kilometre from the northern border of Rondane to the southern border of Dovre National Park, and large sections of adjacent mountain areas are protected by the three parks.

There are no fossils found in Rondane today and so it is thought the sea where the rock came from contained no animal life.

Rondane is one of the few places in Scandinavia and Europe where wild reindeer ( as opposed to the domestic breed ) are found.

It is estimated that approximately 2000 to 4000 reindeer live in Rondane and the nearby Dovre area.

In Rondane, there is a central cabin by the southern end of the lake Rondvatnet, Rondvassbu.

Probably the best-known work is Peer Gynt ( 1867 ), a play by Henrik Ibsen, which is partly set in Rondane:

A third writer who set one of his famous works in Rondane is the poet Aasmund Olavsson Vinje with his poem Ved Rundarne.

Rondane is the finite plural of the word rond.

Belgica Mountains is an isolated chain of mountains about long, standing east-southeast of the Sor Rondane Mountains in Queen Maud Land, in the Antarctic.

The mountain chain swings eastwards south of Trondheim, with ranges such as Dovrefjell and Rondane, and reaches to the border with Sweden, where they are mostly gently sloping plateaus.

That area comprises lowland parishes 200 m above sea-level and mountain parishes 800 m above sea-level, fertile soil in the main valley and barren summits in Rondane and Dovrefjell.

Rondane lies just to the east of Gudbrandsdal and two other mountain areas, Dovre and Jotunheimen are nearby.

Large climate changes allowed reindeer to spread widely across Scandinavia, only to be forced back to a much smaller area — including the Rondane mountain area — only some hundreds of years later.

Together with Rondane, it has Norway and Europe's last stock of wild reindeer of Beringian origin.

* Dovre National Park, founded 2003, connecting the protected areas in the Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park with Rondane National Park.

Together with the reindeer in Rondane National Park the last remaining population of wild Fennoscandian reindeer of Beringia origin ( other wild Norwegian reindeer are of European origin and have interbred with domesticated reindeer to a various extent ), wolverine, and various large birds as golden eagle and gyrfalcon can be seen, and also the recently ( 1930s ) imported ( and potentially dangerous ) musk oxen.

Rondane has ten peaks over 2, 000 m, Rondslottet ( 2, 178 m ), Storronden ( 2, 138 m ), Høgronden ( 2, 114 m ), Midtronden western summit ( 2, 060 m ), Vinjeronden ( 2, 044 m ), Midtronden eastern summit ( 2, 042 m ), Trolltinden ( 2, 018 m ), Storsmeden ( 2, 016 m ), Digerronden ( 2, 015 m ), and Veslesmeden ( 2, 015 m ).
