Welcome
to The Norwegian Wild Salmon Centre
The Norwegian Wild Salmon Centre is located on the banks of the Lærdal river. It was
opened by His Majesty King Harald on June 15 1996. The
Centre provides insight into the life and legends of the Atlantic salmon and
informs its visitors about the protection, management and exploitation of the
wild salmon stocks.
Come to our Centre and expand your knowledge on the migratory and breeding
habits of the wild Norwegian salmon.
