From the centre of Hovden, a groomed winter trail leads towards Hegni. Walk at your own pace through the snow-covered scenery and take in the stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Along the way, you’ll cross the charming Støylsbrua bridge before continuing towards the small pump house in Otrosåsen.
The trail is shared by cross-country skiers and walkers alike, but there’s plenty of space for everyone. With a pair of sturdy winter boots or snowshoes, it’s an easy and peaceful way to enjoy Hovden’s winter landscape – perfect for a calm morning stroll or a refreshing afternoon walk in the sun.

Ice Rink
If you’re in the mood for a short break from skiing, stop by Hovden’s ice rink, located right next to Hovden Badeland & Spa. The rink is free to use, and you can rent skates if you don’t have your own.

Strap on your skates and glide across the ice – there’s plenty of space for everyone, whether you look more like Bambi or an Olympic pro. Ice hockey fans can usually also give this fun and fast-paced sport a try.
If you’re travelling as a couple, you can enjoy a romantic experience after dark – the skating rink is beautifully lit until 11 p.m.
