The Trollheimen side of Oppdal Bygdealmenning, with brown trout and Arctic char in clear mountain lakes. Gjevilvasskamman is widely known for its many rare plant species. Cold, clear water favours discreet, natural lures. Note that the reindeer here are domesticated, unlike the wild herds in Østfjella and Snøhetta.
