SKI AND WINTER 

In Nordfjord, you will find world-class skiing terrain and great ski centres with prepared tracks set in the beautiful and spectacular scenery of Western Norway, many with views of the fjord. At the coast, the winter can be mild and snow-poor, while it is often more snow in inner Nordfjord, giving a large number of days with powder snow. A trip to Nordfjord can be spiced up with summit trips, surfing at Stad, spa and wellbeing treatments, and tasty meals prepared from local ingredients. The winter season in Nordfjord generally lasts from November/December until April. 

Cross-country skiing 

Choose between peaceful tracks in nature where the only sounds you hear are from your skis gliding smoothly through the snow, or the company of other ski-enthusiasts on one of the more popular routes. Nordfjord boasts national and international-level cross-country skiing tracks, with several kilometres of groomed tracks and snow-clad hills. With good snow conditions, varied landscape and floodlit tracks for evening trips, the possibilities are endless.

Surfing at Stad

At Stad you will find perfect surfing conditions with big waves, where steep mountainsides and white sandy beaches create a stunning backdrop. The word “surfing” may set you thinking about palm trees and tropical temperatures in southern climes, but surfing in the beautiful coastal landscape at Stad is every bit as exotic. These fantastic beaches have long been hidden surfing gems, but more and more people are now discovering the thrill of surfing out here at the ocean’s edge. The kilometre-long sandy beach at Hoddevik is one of Norway’s best and most beautiful surfing spots. The towering mountains protect the beach from the strongest winds, creating ideal conditions for surfing. Thirty kilometres away is Ervikstranda beach, where there are almost always waves to be found. Beware of undercurrents and remains of shipwrecks in Ervik.  

Surfers from all over the world come to Stad looking for big waves.
