Kamben Café & Games
Next to the Myrkdalsstovo Welcome Center and Myrkdalen Hotel, you will find Kamben Café & Bar in Kamben.

Join us for a fun and thrilling ride with a snow racer from the top of the Myrkdalsekspressen! We'll take the last lift up, so we'll have the slope to ourselves all the way down to the Myrkdalen Hotel.
From Mountain to Fjord
When you're in Myrkdalen, you're just a short trip away from some of Norway's most spectacular fjords. Give your ski legs a rest and enjoy a cruise on the UNESCO-protected gem, Nærøyfjorden, or take the legendary Flåm Railway – one of the most beautiful train rides in the world.
