Set in a serene region of fjords and frozen lakes, this modern resort opened in 2003. Myrkdalen is growing each year, yet it is still fairly unknown, with uncrowded slopes and a snow-sure ski area from December to May.

If you’re an expert skier, don’t let the small piste area put you off - there's more off-piste terrain than you might expect. For beginners, the quiet slopes are ideal for building confidence, while intermediates can look forward to some of Europe’s best snow on the wide cruisey runs.

Below the ski area is the ski-in ski-out Myrkdalen Hotel. This is the hub of the resort, with three restaurants and a couple of bars. Après activities include sledging, sleigh rides and, our personal favourite, indoor skydiving at the local wind tunnel.

Approximately two hours from the airport, Myrkdalen is a great option to combine with Bergen, Voss and Geilo for a Norwegian ski safari, while the local fjords and the village of Flåm make for a magical day trip or even an overnight stay.

Read Matt Carroll's account of his daughter's first ski holiday in Myrkdalen (and his first time on skis!) in Myrkdalen for the Evening Standard, or learn more about the Myrkdalen's lesser-known off-piste opportunities in Fall-Line Skiing Magazine.

"This up-and-coming ski resort is in Norway’s spectacular Fjord region. With an average snowfall of five metres a year, the snow sure terrain is fantastic for both beginners and experts."

Customer Reviews

What our customers say about Myrkdalen.

The hotel was clean and functional. Food was very good, better than you would expect in a half board package. Ski locker room a bit basic with no boot warmers. We enjoyed both the hotel bar and the Sports bar across from the hotel, with some competitive darts and bowling games keeping us entertained. Ski hire shop was convenient, but we had to both go back with our boots and second time around we …

A great resort, with remote and wild scenery . No half term lift queues! Lots of interesting terrain and off piste skiing. A fabulous resort for kids to “hone” skills and start to experience some deep snow skiing. We were treated to two days of Myrkdalen powder and had a couple of days at Voss to keep the week interesting.

Skied for many years, Europe and North America. Been a few years since our last trip to Canada. Myrkdalen was a fantastic resort to revisit the sport so it really suited our purpose. We started skiing in 1982 and have never seen such wonderful scenery. The resort is small, so you are mainly in the hotel which is aslo fantastic. Food was brilliant.

Small area but with some excellent pistes that were well groomed. Resort was quiet and allowed my wife to regain her confidence without being harassed by other skiers and snowboarders.

Although Myrkdalen is only a small resort, there is everything you could possibly need. The runs are varied with lovely easy greens and blues, reds to build confidence, and a couple of more challenging blacks. The best thing was the way the slopes are groomed made for an interesting run each and every time.
