We are now approaching the charming little mountain village of Lesja. And you might think that little means boring, but there are myriad experiences awaiting you here, whether you just want to enjoy the fresh mountain air or join some of the fantastic cultural and outdoor activities that can be found here. In Lesja there are an abundance of cultural experiences that you will not forget, regardless of your age, gender or fitness. Maybe you are now sitting and looking down into the valley at the beautiful farms that lie side by side in a row. Only a few hundred years ago they would have been deep under water. At that time there was a huge lake there, Lesjavannet, which was drained and emptied to make room for population growth and for arable land. You can also find Lesja Open Air Museum here with its fantastic timber houses which show us how life was on the mountain farms in the olden days. The old and venerable Lesja church, which was established in 1749 is also located here. It is claimed that no one who enters Lesja Church comes out untouched.
