Experience beautiful Hovden

Aerial view of a rocky river flowing past red cabins and buildings in a green, mountainous landscape under a cloudy sky.

Your journey begins in Hirtshals, where you set course for Kristiansand. In spring and summer, you can choose the fast Fjord FSTR, while the comfortable cruise ferries operate year-round. Whichever you choose, you can look forward to a convenient and flexible crossing with several daily departures.

From Kristiansand, the journey continues through the beautiful Setesdal valley, where the landscape gradually changes from gentle forests to majestic mountains. After around 3.5 hours of driving, you arrive in Hovden – a charming mountain village at an altitude of 800 metres, surrounded by spectacular nature. Your cabin, hotel room or apartment is ready and waiting: warm, spacious and perfect for spending quality time together. Perhaps you’ll light the wood-burning stove and enjoy a peaceful first evening with views of the mountains – taking your time to settle in and start your holiday.
