These mountain huts & kiosks are open at Easter

In Ål, you'll find several cosy mountain huts and kiosks that are open over Easter. Here, you can expect everything from *solo* (a type of fizzy drink), Kvikk Lunsj, waffles, *gommokaku* (a traditional Hole-in-the-wall cake), and traditional food. Few things give more of an Easter feeling than a ski trip to an open mountain lodge.
Rabusrenn på Gaurhovd

Gaurhovd kiosk

Open 28th March - 6th April 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Gaurhovd is a favourite for many during Easter, especially for families and those who want an affordable ski trip. The ascent here from the winter car park at Øknin is gentle and family-friendly, and can easily be combined with a loop further towards Buhovd before you head back. 

Maundy Thursday, April 2nd, we are organising a treasure hunt for the whole family. The treasure hunt starts at 12:00, and the main prize-giving will be at 14:00. There will be prizes for the top three, and all participants will be entered into a prize draw. This is a great day to plan your ski trip here if you want a bit of extra activity along the way.

Gate set

Open 29th March - 6th April 11:30 AM - 3:39 PM

Tormodset is located on Votndalsåsen, around 950 metres above sea level. Traditional mountain farming is still practised here, and it's renowned for its excellent farm products. This is truly a delightful destination for Easter. The mountain farm is connected to the trail network on Votndalsåsen and has become an Easter tradition for many. 

On Good Friday, 3 April, they are organising a children's ski race for children and young people aged 0 to 15. Registration is at the kiosk from 11:30 AM, and the start is approximately at 12:30 PM. Everyone who participates receives a prize and a diploma. This makes Tormodset an extra nice destination for family outings on this day.

Fjellski inn til Iungdalshytta i Ål

Iungdalshytta

Lunch service 28 March - 6 April 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Iungsdalshytta is a fantastic destination for those of you looking for a longer Easter trip in the high mountains. We recommend starting your trip from Rødungstølen or Bergsjøstølen, both of which offer accommodation. From here, the trip goes across open mountain terrain along the foot of Reineskarvet. To get the most out of your stay here, we recommend staying for one or two nights.

They serve delicious local and sustainable food at the cabin, and for many, this trip has become a must for Easter in the mountains.

For those of you who wish to experience the cabin but don't want the long ski trip in, Iungsdalshytta offers pick-up at Myrland and Rødungstølen.

Fagerdalen Støl

Open 29 March - 5 April 11:30 AM - 3:30 PM

Fagerdalen is a great destination for those who want a ski trip with a food break as the main focus. The mountain farm is located between Bergsjø and Hovet, and from Bergsjø the trip in is approximately 8.5 kilometres one way by ski. Here, traditional food is served such as sour cream porridge (made the old-fashioned way), soup, kvikaku, gommokaku, ystil bread, hot and cold drinks. The mountain farm environment itself is the experience.

Here you'll experience authentic mountain pasture life, and it's a great trip for those of you who fancy a slightly longer ski tour.
