Skiing Season has begun!

3 ski resorts in the area so you can start skiing during evenings, weekends and holidays!

One of the benefits of living in Stavanger is that you do not have to travel very far to get into the mountains. Only 1.5 hours and you are in a great area for both cross-country skiing and downhill. Only 3.5 hours away and you are in Røldal, where there is on average, the most amount of snowfall in Norway!
