Vrådal in Telemark is a cozy and manageable winter holiday destination where you can enjoy a lot of snowy experiences, a deep tranquility and beautiful nature, and make yourself comfortable in an idyllic log cabin while the snow silently falls outside the windows.

Snow adventures for everyone

In Vrådal, you can look forward to a holiday in a true "winter wonderland" with snow-covered mountains, vast forests, and the beautiful Lake Nisser – a magical landscape reminiscent of the film "Frozen."

Vrådal is known as a cozy and beautiful ski resort, but it also offers wonderful snow adventures outside the slopes for a lovely winter holiday – from fun for the whole family on the toboggan runs to a snowshoe hike on Norway's first prepared snowshoe trail.

New: Tobogganing in Vrådal!

The 2024/2025 winter season brings exciting tobogganing fun for the whole family! At the Lille Petter lift, we’ve created a dedicated sledding area with music and lights to set the perfect atmosphere for an action-packed evening in the snow. Every Tuesday and Friday from 5 PM to 7 PM, you can race down the slopes for just 200 NOK per hour. Tickets can be booked here.

Sauna Experience at the Top of Vrådal Panorama

Enjoy a relaxing sauna experience with breathtaking views of Tverrfjell in our stylish, wood-fired sauna. The sauna can be rented for 2 hours and accommodates up to 6 people. Remember to bring swimwear and a towel – and optionally flip-flops and a bathrobe.

You can also take a refreshing dip in the water. Please note that it is shallow – walk into the water and avoid diving. The sauna can be booked here.

Or how about a visit to the local silversmith or the Nisseloftet, where you can send a Christmas card all year round, followed by an exquisite afternoon tea at the Straand Hotel Vrådal?
