Most calving occurs between mid-April to mid-June. In \u00c5nderdalen there are historical migration routes for the reindeer when they travel to spring and summer pastures. The routes lead north-westwards into the heart of \u00c5nderdalen, Kaperdalen and surrounding area. Conversely, when the animals move back to the autumn and winter grounds, they travel in a south-easterly direction towards Tran\u00f8yfjorden\u2019s coast. During spring and summer scattered flocks are in the Park as well as the coastal belt which means reindeer are using the Park on a year-round basis. Due to unstable winter-weather and pressure on grazing areas there is a new tradition to supply additional winter forage for small flocks at Gammelseter and Holmedalen.<\/p>\n<p>The reindeer rutting season begins in September and continues until the middle of November. The bulls move with small flocks of cows to the winter pastures and specifically the Gjeska and \u00c5nderdalen\/Bl\u00e5fjell area. During the rut some bulls can act aggressively, and it\u2019s therefore recommended to steer clear of reindeer herds at this time of the year.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;first-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/anderdalennasjonalpark.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Anne-Katrine-Borander-fauna-2019-2-9-scaled.jpg&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;30%||25%||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||30%||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;20%||20%||true|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0%||0%||true|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;ad-hovertext&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0.72)&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Reindeer on their early winter pastures.

Let it also be a positive event for the reindeer themselves by following these precautions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep your dog on a leash. Reindeer can easily associate a free-running dog as a threatening predator on the hunt. Over the whole of Norway, April 1st \u2013 August 20th is a law-bound \u2018on leash period\u2019, which means your dog must be on a lead then. Even outside these dates your dog must be under control. Dogs running loose can pose a considerable threat to reindeer, sheep, other livestock, and wildlife.<\/li>\n<li>Change your direction of travel if you encounter grazing reindeer.<\/li>\n<li>Consider sitting down and waiting until reindeer have passed if there are reindeer coming your way.<\/li>\n<li>In springtime reindeer are particularly vulnerable after the long winter, and cows are calving. If a cow is startled and leaves its calf, the calf\u2019s life may be in danger. When you meet reindeer in the spring you need to carefully consider which route you need to take to avoid disturbing them. Make a detour if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; module_class=&#8221;custom-row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;second-on-mobile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;7%|5%|7%|5%|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;5%||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||5%|5%|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Farming<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There is little sheep-farming in the Park.
