Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Norway, especially in Rondane National Park. The park's humid climate and abundance of water sources create the perfect breeding grounds for these pesky insects. Mosquito populations tend to peak during the summer months, making outdoor activities less enjoyable for visitors.

In addition to being annoying, mosquitoes in Rondane National Park can also pose a health risk. While Norway is not known for having high rates of mosquito-borne diseases, there have been cases of diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus reported in the country. It is important for visitors to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites while exploring the park.

Mosquito-borne diseases can have serious consequences, so it is crucial for visitors to be aware of the risks and take necessary measures to protect themselves. Wearing long sleeves and pants, using insect repellent, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak mosquito hours can help reduce the chances of getting bitten. It is also advisable to stay informed about any disease outbreaks in the area.
