Winter in Haugesund and Haugalandet

Snow guarantee

Freezing temperatures + a snow machine = snow guarantee. 5 ski-lifts that can accommodate 5,000 persons per hour, varied slopes and downhill runs - the longest of which is 5.5 kilometres, unspoilt terrain, a large snowboard park and evening skiing aided by floodlights.

Cross-country skiing

Sauda also has several prepared and marked cross-country ski tracks. In the silence of the winter landscape, you only hear the sound of crisp snow under your skis. The surroundings are fantastic and provide the perfect setting for a short break or whole day in the sun. Evening skiing along floodlit ski tracks takes place just outside the centre of town. Sauda is unique for its close proximity to the surrounding mountains, a feature that displays the vivid contrast between urban and natural environments. Sauda has many opportunities in varied locations: hotels or chalets, mountains or fjords, Alpine or cross-country skiing, active or relaxing holidays. The tour operator Sauda Ferie & Fritid can provide comprehensive assistance with all aspects of planning and booking.
