After Easter, many people think the ski season is over, but that's when the magic of spring skiing truly begins – and it's an experience not to be missed!
The period between winter and spring, with cold nights and warmer days, creates ideal conditions in the mountains.
There is no shortage of snow, and the trails are immaculate. Bring your favorite people along and enjoy long, bright days with fabulous skiing on the slopes, delightful slush conditions, and amazing ski touring in Myrkdalen.
If you prefer a shorter ski touring or randonee experience, starting the journey with the skilift is an easy option. 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 skilift, and enjoy traditional food in cosy surroundings, while taking in the view of snow-clad mountain landscapes and glittering snow.
For longer trips, Vikafjellet is highly recommended, whether you prefer ski touring with fjord views or to go on a pulk trip across gentle, rolling terrain. Here are tips for three great back-country skiing options on Vikafjellet.
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 mountain farm to mountain farm along the trail, or take a turn 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!
