Alpine skiing and snowboarding

From Røldal, one of northern Europe's highest resorts, 800 metres above sea level, six lifts transport you all the way to 1,300 metres above sea level. The entire resort is situated above the treeline, offering wide open areas for skiing and riding. Due to the unique high-Alpine environment, the number of prepared runs will vary, but normally around a dozen runs totaling 15 kilometres are open.

The lifts can carry 5,680 persons per hour, and the transport time from base to summit is around 10 minutes.

The season lasts from November/December until mid-May. Average annual snowfall is 1,100 centimetres (440 inches).
