Waymarked hiking and skiing trails
We have an expansive net of trails nearby during both summer and winter, e.g. at Hægefjell, 1022 m.a.s.l. During winter, we have vehicle prepped trails, Fjone Høgfjell, at the snowy altitude of 800-1000 m.a.s.l.
Biking
The area is known for its biking friendly terrain with trails, gravel roads, and long slopes of smooth polished rock. A trip around Nisser of about 40km offers light biking terrain along the water and a short trip with the cable ferry across Fjonesundet. There is only a short drive to Gautefall, one of the best biking trail areas in all of Norway.
