Located in one of Norway’s most snow-secure areas—and ranking high on the list for snowfall throughout the season—Myrkdalen offers perfect conditions for off-piste skiing in both mountains and forests.
Myrkdalen proudly calls itself a "powder paradise," and the area is indeed highly sought after by off-piste enthusiasts from Norway and Northern Europe. The varied terrain offers a wealth of diverse experiences, and the local ski guides are always ready to offer advice on where to find the best snow in Myrkdalen and the surrounding areas.
Close to the ski centre, you’ll find two popular summit tours to Finnbunuten (1,358 m) and Bjørndalskamben (1,402 m), both of which are ideal for a beautiful day trip with breathtaking views.
For an off-piste experience like no other, take the ski bus to Flåm and from there, the Flåmsbana to Vatnahalsen. The train ride itself is a unique experience—often called the world’s most beautiful train journey—and once you reach the top, Vatnahalsen offers fantastic, varied terrain with long, fine descents in all directions.
If you’re not keen on venturing out on your own, there are plenty of opportunities for guided summit tours of all difficulty levels.
