Myrkdalen
Myrkdalen is one of largest ski resorts in Western Norway. A family friendly ski in, ski out ski area with pistes for all ski levels, terrain parks, cross-country skiing, kids areas and plenty of off-piste skiing. This ski in /ski out resort is based around the hotel and apartments and there is a small grocery shop, café, three restaurants and an après ski bar. In the heart of Fjord country the landscape in Myrkdalen is wild and unspoilt and the resort is consistently ranked as having the highest yearly snowfalls in Europe.
In the heart of Fjord country in Western Norway the proximity of Myrkdalen to the coast means it is less cold than some resorts further east, making it a great destination for young families. You can easily tie in a stunning fjord cruise or breathtakingly scenic railway ride with your ski break. The perfect place for more than just a ski holiday.
Myrkdalen isn't a resort for rowdy apres ski, think more hot chocolate and a book by the fire. You will find a great atmosphere at the Pudder Cafe & Bistro particularly on the weekend. Kamben Cafe and Bar has great coffee and a variety of beers from local breweries.
There's plenty of non-ski activities to try out such as the sledging where you take the last lift up and cruise down the empty slopes back to Myrkdalen. There's also the popular snow rafting, horse sleigh rides, ice skating, snowshoeing tours, fitness classes and concerts throughout the winter.
