Gol

If you have come to enjoy wild and varied nature, your first encounter with Gol will not let you down. Here you are greeted by forest clad valleys and splendid high mountain areas with a beautiful view to Jotunheimen, Hallingskarvet and Hemsedal.

With a network of good mountain roads and trails Gol and the adjacent mountain areas may be one of the best mountain biking areas in Norway. Here you will also find well-prepared and safe hiking trails, up-to-date signposting and easily accessible mountain tops well-suited for the whole family. If you rather want to join a horseback riding tour or go fishing for trout in a mountain lake, the choice is yours.

In winter, Gol turns into a snow covered wonderland. Whether you want to put on your skis and get out on newly groomed ski tracks, or rush down a ski slope, there are plenty of opportunities right on your doorstep.

The small town of Gol is part of the traditional region of Hallingdal, and there are several cultural memories in and around Gol town centre. In the activity park Gordarike in Gol centrum, you are right in the middle of the Hallingdal history with tracks from the Viking Age and the Medieval Ages.
