Welcome to the Setesdal valley 

The Setesdal valley is centrally located in Southern Norway and easily accessible from continental Europe.  
The highway RV9 passes through many villages and the landscape varies from flat countryside to wild and beautiful mountains.  Around every bend, in the 210-kilometre long valley, new vistas and activities await you.
In the winter you can choose between two skiing destinations; Brokke and Hovden.
In the Setesdal valley you will find living silver handicraft and traditional music. In the countryside or in exhibitions, you can see minerals from "the beginning of time". Iron production from the Viking Age, local building styles, art and handicraft are exhibited in the valley's museums.
Choose peaceful days relaxing by your cabin or take a swim in the lake or go rafting in the foaming rapids  As you explore our impressive landscape, please show consideration for your surroundings for the benefit of future generations.
Have a nice stay in the Setesdal.
