    The Gourmet Restaurant "Experience"

    The gourmet restaurant Experience – A Journey Through Taste and History At Bjerkem Farm in Henning, Steinkjer, you’ll find Experience – a unique gourmet restaurant offering an unforgettable evening of organic, locally sourced cuisine. The restaurant is housed in a former barn, beautifully transformed into a rustic yet atmospheric dining space and bar. Here, you will enjoy a 16-course tasting menu that evolves with the seasons, paired with carefully selected wine packages or non-alcoholic juice and cocktail pairings. Behind this concept is owner and head chef Kim Tore Sjøbakk, who brings invaluable experience from Michelin-starred restaurants in London. At Experience, you don’t just enjoy a meal – you embark on an experience for life. From the moment you arrive, you are transported 150 years back in time, to an era when food was grown and harvested for personal consumption. Kim’s philosophy is simple: the process of sourcing and gathering ingredients is just as important as the cooking itself – and deserves its own story. His goal is to give guests the true meaning of the word “experience”. Local Ingredients – The Flavours of Trøndelag Kim Tore uses organic and wild produce from Trøndelag, working closely with local farmers, fishermen, foragers, and hunters – as well as growing and foraging much himself. This ensures dishes of the highest quality, showcasing the very best the region has to offer. Some of our trusted suppliers include: Gullimunn – heritage grains such as Emmer wheat and Sweet Rye, grown on the farm and nearby. Trøndersopp – organic and wild mushrooms from Leksdal, just 15 minutes away. Bjørka – honey from Marie Vorum, who also helps source other local products. Kim personally handpicks many of the ingredients that later become exquisite dishes. An Unforgettable Culinary Evening We serve a 16-course tasting menu, carefully designed to provide a wealth of flavours without leaving you overfull. You can also choose from a range of drink pairings – with or without alcohol – tailored to complement each menu. The bar opens as guests arrive, and service begins at 7:30 PM, with dishes thoughtfully paced throughout the evening. Reservations Experience welcomes guests Wednesday - Saturday. Book your table her, via email: [email protected] or call: +47 94 08 13 99. Other days are available for private group bookings and larger groups by arrangement. Welcome to Experience – where every detail tells a story!

    The Hill 1125, Hovden

    The restaurant “The Hill 1125” stands proudly atop Hovden in the Oppdal Ski Center. This iconic establishment is a signature landmark of Oppdal, visible from the village below. Both locals from Oppdal, cabin-goers, and tourists from near and far come to enjoy the magnificent panoramic view and to taste the exciting offerings from the kitchen. At “The Hill 1125”, you can indulge in Italian pizza baked in a traditional wood-fired stone oven, delicious sandwiches, soups and stews, cakes and chocolates, and not to forget, freshly baked cinnamon buns. The restaurant’s opening hours are aligned with the seasons. During the winter season, it is open whenever the Hovden lift is operating – every weekend as well as on Thursdays and Fridays. When the winter season ends, the restaurant remains closed until the gondola opens for the summer season, during which both the gondola and the restaurant are open daily throughout the summer. In the fall, the restaurant opens on weekends, and during the autumn school holiday, it is usually open every day. The restaurant is suitable for everyone, regardless of age, as it is accessible to wheelchair users and families with strollers, despite being on a mountaintop. The gondolas are designed to accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, and bikes, and inside the restaurant, you will find both a handicap-accessible restroom and a changing table for babies. Note: Be aware that the gondola and the restaurant might close due to adverse weather conditions, so it's crucial to check the weather forecast in advance.

    Oppdal Ski Centre

    Welcome to Oppdal Skisenter! As one of Norway's largest ski resorts, Oppdal Skisenter stretches across four majestic mountains, offering an extensive skiing experience. The resort features 13 ski lifts and 35 diverse slopes, connected seamlessly via shuttle trails and the cross-lift (tverrheisen), allowing easy movement between different areas. Vangslia: Vangslia is the most frequented part of Oppdal Skisenter, known for being the first to open each season due to its reliable snowfall. This area is perfect for families and thrill-seekers alike. Vangslia has a dedicated children’s slope equipped with a conveyor lift, along with two chairlifts and two T-bar lifts serving eleven varied trails. Additionally, the terrain park here offers exciting jumps and obstacles, appealing to both young children and adventurous teens. The park usually opens around Christmas and evolves with new features as the season progresses. Vangslia's favorable location provides ample sunshine, often making it warmer than the lower valleys. This area is ideal for all skill levels, featuring slopes ranging from easy greens to challenging blacks. Vangslia is the natural starting point for a memorable day on the slopes. Stølen: Located just 3 kilometers north of Oppdal Sentrum, Stølen offers a blend of accessible and diverse skiing opportunities. The area is home to five well-maintained slopes and four lifts, including a popular children’s slope, making it a family-friendly destination. Stølen’s terrain is versatile, providing both groomed trails and extensive off-piste areas. The gentle slopes by the mountain lift are particularly enjoyable during northwestern weather, offering safe powder runs with minimal avalanche risk. Many skiers, both locals and visitors, have taken their first turns in Stølen's welcoming beginner slopes. Ådalen: Tucked between the other three main areas, Ådalen is a hidden gem for powder enthusiasts. After northwest storms, Ådalen becomes a paradise for freeriders, thanks to its abundant fresh snow. The Ådalsheisen lift services a well-groomed slope and a transport trail that loops back to the valley. The area is renowned for the "Ådalsfjeset," a legendary face that hosts freeriding competitions and is a favorite for experienced skiers. Another notable feature is the "student hang," a snowy bowl with large cornices, ideal for adventurous jumps. Ådalen’s varied terrain makes it a go-to spot for those seeking challenging off-piste runs. Hovden ("The Hill"): Hovden, prominently visible to the north of Oppdal Sentrum, is celebrated as one of Norway’s premier and steepest ski slopes. This area has a single chairlift serving a black run, known for its steep and demanding terrain. Hovden is a training ground for many of Norway’s top skiers, including legends like Aksel Lund Svindal and Erik Håker. On powder days, Hovden offers a thrilling mix of challenging off-piste areas and impeccably groomed racing slopes. The slope’s difficulty and reputation draw both freeriders and competitive skiers. Hovden typically opens later in the season, initially operating only on weekends until the main winter holidays. Come and explore the vast, varied slopes of Oppdal Skisenter. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned skier, there's something here for everyone. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery, the fresh mountain air, and the thrill of carving down these beautiful slopes.
