Myrkdalen is a new and modern ski resort, with the first lift there opening in 2003. Their pistes are quiet and wide, making them brilliantly suited for children and beginners, while the off-piste is great for experienced skiers or for those wanting to develop their off-piste skills. This resort receives some of the highest snowfall in Europe and, as a result, skiing conditions here are very reliable.
Despite Myrkdalen’s focus on catering for beginners and families there’s certainly something for everyone. The ski resort boasts 55km of slopes varying in difficulty. The resort also has great off-piste terrain and the high snowfall means there's plenty of powder to go around, we'd suggest hiring a guide.
On Friday evenings the runs are floodlit and the lifts stay open so you can enjoy some extra hours and a different slope experience.
Similar to skiing, snowboarding in Myrkadalen is best suited to novices and intermediates. The ski school in Myrkadalen offers snowboarding lessons making it the ideal place to improve your skills or pick up the sport for the first time.
