For the little ones, there's a designated children's area with gentle slopes serviced by a magic carpet lift. The Huldra Forest run is a favourite with the children. This slope runs down between the snow-covered trees and has fun side trails. There's also an ungroomed path through the adventure forest. You'll also find a children's park (the Forest Cross) with varied terrain and a small element park - perfect for adventurous skiers and snowboarders.

Advanced skiing in Myrkdalen
Although the ski area in Myrkdalen is not known for being the most challenging, there is a variety of runs and fantastic off-piste options. If you want to take an easy day of carving down the slopes, head up the Kari Traa T-bar for beautiful views and enjoyable red runs - there are also off-piste opportunities on both sides of the slopes. If you are after more of a challenge, head up the Myrkdalsekspressen chairlift for access to the Bygardsløypo, a steep black slope where alpine ski clubs practise and race. The Leinevegen slope is also a good option, it takes you through the snowy area above the cabins.
The surrounding landscape provides you with plenty of opportunities for exploring the ungroomed, powder-filled areas. We recommend joining a guided tour, where you'll be taken to some of the lesser-known routes and hidden powder-filled areas - it makes for an unforgettable alpine experience.

The resort is especially great for first-time skiers and snowboarders, there's a dedicated beginner area serviced by a magic carpet and smooth progression to gentle blue runs higher up the mountain. There’s a wide variety of well-groomed blue and red runs so that intermediates can take their pick - if you're up for a challenge, there's also a couple of black runs to explore. While the ski area may not have lots of black-grade slopes, its exceptional off-piste terrain makes it a hidden gem for those seeking adventure beyond the marked slopes.
Whilst in Myrkdalen, you’ll have the opportunity to experience some fun winter activities when you’re not busy skiing. Spend the evening exploring the untouched wilderness surrounding the resort by snowshoe, before warming up by the fire with a cup of Gløgg and some traditional Norwegian stories.
