Experience the summer in Ål!

Would you like to experience Norway at its most authentic? In Ål, we still live close to nature, with vibrant mountain farming life, traditional culture, and activities deeply rooted in the area. Here, you can cycle through the high mountains to a living mountain farm, ride through landscapes bearing traces of old mountain farming culture, hike to a traditional tourist cabin in Skarvheimen, taste traditional local food, and visit one of Norway's oldest and best-preserved medieval stave churches.

On a sheltered mountainside above Ål lies Fagerdalen Støl, a living farm where the cows still graze freely and traditions are kept alive. Here, cheese is fermented, boiled and churned the old-fashioned way.
