 Ann, Ebbe, Elin, Frederik, John Eivind, Randi and Knut Olav had very good trips, with marvellous skiing on Hardangervidda. We are very fond of this kind of active holidays, giving us the best of mountain nature and lots of fresh air and exercise. The best way of beeing in close contact with the mountains and the fantastic nature. We want as many as possible to know about it. Please look at the pictures from our holidays in the following... The pictures should speak for themselves  Ann and Frederik outside the skiing track in very nice weather

Rauhelleren South  Stigstuv ahead Stigstuv Mountain LodgeThe first time we stayed overnight we arrived after a very hard tour with wet snow and hard front wind, so we felt lucky when we came indoor.We slept in the living room because many guests had searched shelter! The food was excellent! Hosts: Ingebjørg and Fritjof Myklatun, 5783 Eidfjord. Seasons: At Easter and 1. july to 20. august.  Dyranut ahead  Dyranut Mountain Lodge Dyranut Turist LodgeIt is the lodge on top of the road over Hardangervidda (approx. 1250 meters).We decided to stay in this lodge to test the area and the skiing tracks. Host: Leif Olav Litlatun, 5784 Øvre Eidfjord. There are marked routes to Stigstuv, Rauhelleren, to Bjoreidalen, Sandhaug, to Kjeldebu, Krekkja, and Finse. The lodge is under modernizing, but most of the guest rooms are still with ovens. You have to be prepaired to fire up the oven early in the morning. Good food and nice people. We enjoyed our stay there and it was a very good starting-point for day trips along the different routes. The kite-skiers are obviously fond of the area, because we met a lot of them around Dyranut for many days.
