The dataset shows administrative boundaries for Swedish reindeer owners' grazing areas in Norway. The area boundaries are established in the Regulation on grazing areas for Swedish reindeer in Norway, ref. the Border Reindeer Grazing Act).

The reindeer grazing areas where Sami reindeer husbandry takes place covers approx. 40% of the land area of Norway, extending from Finnmark in the north to Engerdal, Hedmark in the south. Sami reindeer husbandry also takes place in Trollheimen on the basis of a special legal arrangement. Non-sami reindeer husbandry takes place in the mountain areas in Southern Norway, based on agreements with landowners.
