Horse riding, mountain farm visit, and our popular “Halling aften” are also some of the activities which you can experience. The highest point in Ål is the top of “Reineskarvet” (1780 m. above sea level). Here you will find the well known ski and tourist area – known as “Bergsjø -området". This area lies idealistic between two mountain plateaus “Reineskarvet” and “Hallingskarvet”.
The mountains around Nordheim are fantastic both summer & winter, and only a short distance away. This skiing area is easily accessible with either car or public transport (6 km or 10 minutes drive), during the winter you also have the possibility of coming to the tops with the use of the ski lift at ”Skarslia” 500 km from Nordheim.

If the bad weather takes its toll in the mountains maybe the forest tracks or area outside the lodge are preferable.
