This grant program supports the maintenance and development of pilgrimage routes (pilegrimsleder) through Innlandet county in Norway. The program has a total budget of 650,000 kroner for 2026. It provides funding for maintenance, marking, information initiatives, and network coordination related to pilgrimage routes. Priority is given to Gudbrandsdalsleden and routes approved as St. Olavsled. Municipalities along these pilgrimage routes can apply for grants typically ranging from 15,000 to 30,000 kroner, though larger grants may be awarded for strategic initiatives. The program requires matching funds (50/50 split) from the municipality or other contributors. Eligible routes include Gudbrandsdalsleden, Østerdalsleden, Valldalsleden, Glomdalsleden, and Pilegrimsvegen in Valdres. Regional pilgrimage centers or organizations with coordinating functions can also apply.
