Villages typiques, traditions populaires vivaces et activités fortes en sensations. Dans la vallée de Setesdal, l’aventure n’est jamais bien loin.
Située au cœur de la Norvège du Sud, la vallée de Setesdal s’insinue dans un paysage fait de plaines et de montagnes belles et sauvages. La route Rv9 traverse la vallée en passant par plusieurs villages accueillants.
Le Setesdal est particulièrement connu pour la vivacité de ses traditions populaires, mais l’on peut également s’y initier à toutes sortes d’activités riches en émotions – avec ou sans enfants. Escalade de via ferrata, raft sur la rivière Otra ou autre défi palpitant sur les pistes d’un bike park.
Les hivers peuvent être longs dans la vallée, ce qui ne manque pas de ravir les fans de ski. De superbes pistes de ski de fond, deux stations de ski alpin et des montagnes faciles d’accès pour la pratique du ski de randonnée font du Setesdal une destination très intéressante pour les vacances d’hiver.
Si vous avez la fibre plus culturelle, vous pourrez découvrir l’univers des minéraux, visiter le musée des traditions folkloriques ou assister à la fabrication de bijoux en argent. Quelles que soient vos préférences en matière de vacances, la destination durable Setesdal est le gage de vacances écologiques !

Les longs hivers du Setesdal vous donnent tout le temps qu’il faut pour profiter pleinement de la neige.
ÅseralBortelid Ski Centre
Bortelid has five ski lifts and 14 downhill runs, the longest of which is 1700 metres. The slopes vary in technical difficulty, from a children's run to a precipitous, almost-vertical drop. The 100-metre long conveyor belt on the children's slope is one of the longest of its kind in Norway. It turns skiing into a game for the youngest guests, and it is practical and easy for adults to accompany them or watch from the sidelines. Children below age 7 receive a free lift pass, providing they are wearing a helmet. If you need a break, Bortelid Bistro is just the place! Food, drink, warmth and excellent service work in combination to get you back on the slopes in no time! Visit our Facebook page

Hovden Park is regarded as one of Norway’s leading terrain parks and has been nominated several times for “Park of the Year” by the Norwegian Snowboard Federation. A dedicated T-bar running the length of the park allows for smooth flow and plenty of laps throughout the day. The park features both a blue and a red line, with more than 30 rails and jumps in total, making it suitable for everyone from beginners to riders competing at Norwegian Cup level. The red jump line, consisting of three large jumps, offers generous airtime for advanced tricks, while the smaller features encourage progression and playful riding at all levels. Hovden Park is the training ground for the Snowboard and Freeski program at Hovden Ski Gymnasium and the home park of internationally renowned rider Sindre Tveiten, who is also a team rider for the resort. Well established and frequently selected as a venue for national competitions, especially slopestyle, Hovden Park delivers world-class variety, challenges, and playful riding – offering guests some of the very best park skiing Norway has to offer.

ByglandFånefjell - return trip 3,5 km
Fånefjell – Bygland Starting point is the southern entrance of the Fånefjell tunnel on highway 9. From the parking you may follow the old road upwards, through the valley Kattedalen. From the top of the road there is a path leading to a picnic area with a nice view. You may also continue on the road and descend on the northern side, but the old semi-tunnel around the mountain is closed due to the risk of rockslide, and walking through the main tunnel is dangerous for pedestrians. For these reasons you have to return the same way. The mountain road is from around 1840, the semi-tunnel from 1923 and the main tunnel from 1963. Take your time and look around. The entire area is renowned for its rich flora. Length: 3.5 km return trip Ascent: 150 metres Duration: 2–3 hours Difficulty: Easy; road up through the hillside, followed by a path to the picnic area / viewpoint. Download map
