Rondane was Norway's first national park, gazetted in 1962 to protect one of the last intact wild tundra-reindeer ranges in Europe. About 90 % of the world's wild Rangifer tarandus tarandus live in Norway; Rondane North and South together host roughly 3,900 animals across 3,300 km2 of moor, scree and alpine plateau in eleven kommunes.
