Sirdal
Outdoor adventures all year long
With skis on your feet and mountains all around – welcome to winter in Sirdal.
Sirdal in summer, fall and spring is pure hiking bliss with endless trails and stunning scenery.
Characterised by high peaks and scenic lakes, Sirdal is a picturesque mountain region in south-western Norway that offers year-round nature adventures.
With over 3,000 cabins, Sirdal is a popular ski resort in Southern Norway, offering five ski fields and 200 km of groomed cross-country trails.
In summer, the area transforms into a hiking paradise with 1,000 km of marked trails and over 40 cabins maintained by the Stavanger Trekking Association (STF). For climbers, Sirdal offers 100+ bolted routes, especially in Hunnedalen, Liland, and Sirekrok.
Take a scenic drive along the Suleskar Road, southwestern Norway’s highest mountain pass at 1,050 metres, a favourite for bikers and road-trippers.
Much of Sirdal lies within the SVR Conservation Area, home to Europe’s southernmost wild reindeer. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy nature while respecting its fragile ecosystem.
After a day outdoors, enjoy hearty local dishes like reindeer roast, lamb, and fried trout, often served with wild berries and mushrooms.
Learn about local life at the Sirdal Mountain Museum in Kvæven, or visit in September for the charming sheep fair, when 5,000 sheep parade through the valley in a lively community celebration.
