Stranda

A charming fjord-side town, Stranda is one of Norway’s best-known winter destinations, when it attracts local and international skiers. Particularly famous for its thrilling off-piste offerings, the ski resort also has 18 downhill runs of varying degrees of difficulty, plus a family-friendly area. Ski season usually lasts from November to April, and a few nights a week the resort is lit up until 10pm for evening skiing. Stranda is also beautiful in the summer, when travelers come for beautiful views and great hiking. Don’t miss a meal at the slope-side Fjord Panorama Restaurant, which offers 360-degree views of the landscape and can be reached via gondola.

Indagare Tip: Die-hard skiers looking to stay near the mountain can book a room at the Stranda Hotel, located a 10-minute drive away. However, we recommend staying at one of our preferred properties and traveling an hour or so to and from the mountain each day. Contact us for details.
