Easy

Take the Myrkdal Express and quickly ascend to the mountains.

About the Myrkdal Express

The chairlift is located right next to Myrkdalen Hotel. Within five minutes, it takes you up to 860 meters above sea level. From there, excellent hiking opportunities are available, or one can stroll down to the mountain lodge in Vetlebotn for a nice lunch.

If you wish to climb a mountain peak, we recommend Finnbunuten, which is 1358 meters above sea level. From there, you'll have a fantastic view of famous glaciers such as Hardangerjøkulen, Jostedalsbreen, and Folgefonna.

A shorter alternative is to hike to the idyllic Mørkvesstølen. Along the trail, there are beautiful pools in the river that are tempting to swim in on warm summer days.
