Ski touring and randonee on mountain skis

If you wish to go on a shorter ski mountaineering or randonnee trip, it's no problem to start the journey with the ski lift. From the top of the Kari Traa lift, it's just a short hour up to Finnbunuten (1358 meters above sea level) with an amazing view over Myrkdalen, Stølsheimen, and Hurrungane.

On your way down, you can stop by Vetlebotn Mountain Lodge, the café right next to the Kari Traa ski lift, and be served traditional food in cozy surroundings, while enjoying the view of white-clad expanses and sparkling snow.

For longer ski trips, Vikafjellet is recommended, whether you want to climb a mountain with fjord views or go on a sledging trip across gentle and rolling terrain. Here are tips for three great mountain ski trips on Vikafjellet.

Cross-country skiing on beautiful trails

If you're eager to hit the cross-country ski trails, Myrkdalen offers several great tours. Strap on your skis right outside Myrkdalen Hotel and head over the ski bridge towards Årmotslia where 30 km of splendid cross-country tracks await you.

Here you can continue from summer farm to summer farm along the trail, or turn off towards Svolefjellet or Larsfonnberget for a panoramic view.

There's no reason to pack away the skis even though Easter is over. Welcome to magical spring skiing in Myrkdalen!
