Itching to put on those skis? Enjoy long, snowsure winters in Bjorli and Lesja!
Just where the Gudbrandsdalen valley ends and the Romsdalen valley starts lies Lesja and the village of Bjorli. It's the perfect starting point if for exploring the Reinheimen and Dovrefjell national parks by foot, on a bike, or on skis.
Bjorli is known for its long and snowy winter season. In fact, the Bjorli ski centre is usually one of the first alpine resorts to open in the autumn. If you prefer cross-country skiing, you can even start your trip right in the centre of the village!
Hikers, cyclists, horseback riders, and anglers can usually trust the summer season here to be warm and dry. After a day in the great outdoors, you’ll want to stop by Avdemsbue, where you can buy locally made cheese and other food from the area.
