Lesja kommune's air quality benefits from its exceptional Lesja highland position on the Lesjaskogsvatnet lake watershed between the Gudbrandsdal and Romsdal valleys, with very minimal vehicle traffic and the highland, agricultural, and tourism corridor contributing negligible local sources. Consistent highland breezes provide outstanding clean natural ventilation and Lesja generally maintains excellent conditions throughout most of the year.
