Røldal

Off-piste skiing and scenic trails

Røldal, located close to the Hardangerfjord region in South Western Norway, is renowned for receiving more snowfall than anywhere else in Norway.

You'll find some of Norway’s best off-piste skiing in steep, rocky terrain, along with a ski centre located 1,000 metres above sea level and plenty of cross-country trails.

Røldal is equally beautiful in the summer. Located at the foot of the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, Røldal is a perfect starting point for countless hikes and cycling trails through stunning scenery.
