The Area

Ål is known as one of Hallingdal’s most versatile mountain destinations. During winter, you will find one of Southern Norway’s longest connected networks of cross-country ski trails just outside the cabin. The well-groomed tracks stretch for miles across the high mountain plateau, offering excellent skiing opportunities for all levels. For alpine skiing enthusiasts, Ål Ski Centre is only a short drive away.

When the snow melts, the area transforms into a paradise for hiking, cycling, and fishing. From the cabin, you can set out on short family-friendly walks or longer mountain hikes through the open and scenic highland terrain. The views towards Hallingskarvet, Reineskarvet, and the surrounding mountain ranges make every excursion a memorable nature experience.

The centre of Ål is approximately 20 minutes away by car and offers shops, restaurants, cultural attractions, and activities for the whole family. Here you will also find the famous Bergen Railway (Bergensbanen), providing convenient access to both Oslo and Bergen.

About the Cabin

The cabin is particularly well suited for large families, groups of friends, and multiple families travelling together.
