Tips from the Community
Illmanndalen is a stunning mountain valley that runs along the south of the main Rondane massif. It can be used to link the popular DNT cabins at Bjørnhollia and Rondvassbu. The trail shadows the northern banks of the beautiful Illmannåe.

The suspension bridge at the starting point is currently being renovated and therefore crossing it is not possible.

All too often words like "epic" and "awesome" are used to describe a place. About midway between Rondvassbu and Bjørnhollia, along the Illmanndalen valley you will find a series of alpine tarns where the scenery is on another level that leaves you lost for words. A place to pause and just take it all in. Note that the lakes may freeze over well into summer and are generally not considered suitable for swimming.
