This slope runs down between the snow-covered trees and has fun side trails. There's also an ungroomed path through the adventure forest.

Advanced skiing in Myrkdalen

Although the ski area in Myrkdalen is not known for being the most challenging, there is a variety of runs and fantastic off-piste options. If you want to take an easy day of carving down the slopes, head up the Kari Traa T-bar for beautiful views and enjoyable red runs - there are also off-piste opportunities on both sides of the slopes. If you are after more of a challenge, head up the Myrkdalsekspressen chairlift for access to the Bygardsløypo, a steep black slope where alpine ski clubs practise and race. The Leinevegen slope is also a good option, it takes you through the snowy area above the cabins. 

The surrounding landscape provides you with plenty of opportunities for exploring the ungroomed, powder-filled areas. We recommend joining a guided tour, where you'll be taken to some of the lesser-known routes and hidden powder-filled areas - it makes for an unforgettable alpine experience.

Sledging

If you’re looking for a fun way to challenge friends and family, sledging is the perfect activity. Ditch the traditional wooden sledge for a faster, modern snow racer. Start at the top of the Myrkdalsekspressen and speed your way down the slopes. You’ll take the last ski lift up, so you’ll have the whole slope to yourself all the way down to the Myrkdalen Hotel! Don’t forget to wear appropriate clothing to keep you warm and a helmet to keep you safe. 

Mondays (45 minutes)

Snowshoe hike to the Laavo

Snowshoeing is a great way to explore parts of the resort that the skiers don’t get to see. On this snowshoe hike, you’ll walk along an easy trail into the untouched wilderness of Myrkdalen. Get ready to go off-piste, as you’ll need to hike your way through frozen forests to the Laavo. Once you’ve found the Laavo, you’ll have the opportunity to warm up by the open fire with a hot cup of Gløgg (a traditional Norwegian drink similar to mulled wine) while your guide tells you stories before making your way back to town. The whole trip takes roughly 2 hours, and you can expect wonderful views of the resort and surrounding mountains behind the setting sun. 

Tuesdays (2 hours)

Nærøyfjord Cruise and Flåm Railway

Norway is known for its stunning scenery and dramatic fjords and we’d recommend visiting both during your stay. This fantastic day trip allows you to experience both, taking you on a cruise down one of Norway's most iconic fjords, followed by a roundtrip on the Flåm Railway – voted as one of the most scenic train routes in the world. Your day will start with a bus trip from Myrkdalen to Gudvangen. Here, you’ll jump on one of the electric cruise ships, holding up to 400 people, and slowly make your way down the Nærøyfjord towards the small town of Flåm. The boat trip takes roughly 2 hours, and you’ll be able to soak in all the views, take pictures of the steep mountains and grab a bite to eat from the onboard café. Once docked up in Flåm, you’ll then hop on the Flåm Train for your round trip through the mountains. Both sides of the train offer fantastic views of snow-capped mountains, frozen waterfalls and deep valleys - you’ll even pass through the mountains in the many man-made tunnels. The train trip takes just under 2 hours, and once back in Flåm you’ll get back on the bus before heading back to your accommodation in Myrkdalen.

You can also bring your snacks or lunch into the café if you are not tempted by the tasty treats they have to offer.

When it comes to dinnertime, Restaurant Tunet serves the best pizzas in the resort. Whilst Norway isn't typically known for its pizzas, the pizzeria at the Myrkdalen hotel is the talk of the town. Choose between classic Neapolitan pizzas or if you're feeling adventurous go for a white base pizza (vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available).  If you are after more of an alpine-style dinner, Nuten Fondue is the best place to enjoy a social dinner with friends and family. The restaurant serves delicious Swiss-style cheese fondue with various accompaniments like meats, bread, vegetables and potatoes. Orders must be placed before 2:00 PM on the same day. Fondue is available from 6:00 PM.

Après, bars and nightlife

Myrkdalen offers a laid-back après and nightlife scene. Pudder After-Ski is the best spot to enjoy a drink and catch up with family and friends. Throughout the day quick bites are available, however once the slopes shut a local DJ creates an enjoyable after-ski atmosphere. If you want to keep the party going, Pudder will reopen as a nightclub later in the evening (Friday and Saturday only).

Shopping

If you want to stock up on the essentials, there's a small selection of daily groceries in Myrkdalsstovo. 

There is a sports shop located in the hotel area, where you can browse the latest trend pieces in active and leisure wear. The rental sports shop is typically open until late, so you can maximise your time on the mountain before returning your equipment at the end of your last day.

Spas and relaxation

Relax and rejuvenate after a day of arctic activities at the Myrkdalen Hotel Mountain Sauna. The saunas are set back from the hotel surrounded by the nature in the area, so you can unwind in peace with incredible views from the large windows. Be sure to pre-book your slot, as it can get incredibly busy during the winter season.

Plus, if you haven’t had enough fun during the day, the main track is also illuminated most evenings, allowing you to continue skiing after dark.
