Øvre Dividal National Park lies in Målselv in Troms county, Norway. The park was opened in 1971 and is 750 km² in area, and the intention was to preserve a very little disturbed inland valley and mountain area. The hiking trail Nordkalottruta passes through the national park. Dividalen, at 228 meter above sea, is the second driest valley in Norway, with average annual precipitation being only 282 mm. The Øvre Dividal National Park, however, starts at an elevation of about 300 m and reaches up to about 1600 m. Together with areas in bordering Sweden, as well as almost undisturbed areas nearby in Norway, this park is part of a larger wilderness area.
