The 1250-metre terrain park at Hovden is considered one of the largest and best snowboard and freeski parks in Norway. It contains more than 30 creative and exciting elements. The smallest children have their own park in the “Tusseland” section.
Randonee skiing in Setesdal

Setesdal is known for its steep mountainsides, rising from the valley floor and easily accessible from the main road RV 9. In the upper part of the valley, in Valle and Bykle, several mountains are suitable for randonee skiing. Berg in Valle is the starting point for a trip that will give you a 1000-metre descent, and at Hovden you may conquer several summits in just one day.
