Illuminated Ski Trail in Holtamoen

Surnadal

The trail at a glance

The illuminated ski trail in Holtamoen, Upper Surnadal, runs through relatively flat terrain. This is why it is well suited for both children who are learning to ski and adults who are looking for an easier everyday fitness option. You will also find a Stikk Ut Ski postbox on this loop trail.

Route description

Drive for about 10 km from Skei in Surnadal Municipality in the direction of Rindal and turn up to the right onto Vindøldalsvegen Road. If you are coming from Rindal, this junction will be just after you have passed the Røv mill and the bridge over the Vindøla River. Turn up to the left.  Drive along Vindøldalsvegen Road for about 400 metres. You can park your car on the right side of the road. Follow a small exit road to the right and you will soon reach the ski lodge near the illuminated ski trail. Follow the illuminated ski trail as it makes a loop. The trail is 2.2 km long. You will find the trail postbox on a tree near the shooting range, roughly at the point that lies furthest away from the starting point at the ski lodge.

Public transport

It is possible to take a bus to the beginning of Vindøldalsvegen Road, but it would probably be difficult to find a suitable departure time on your way back.

Other

When there is enough snow, the trail is groomed about once a week. If the illumination of the ski trail is off when you get there, you will find the switch (a black button) on the wall near the door to the ski lodge. The illumination is automatically switched off at 9:30 p.m., but you can easily switch it back on if you need it longer. Please follow the instructions on the poster by the door.

Map

There is no need for a map.

Payment method for toll road

Vindøldalsvegen is a toll road! You do not need to pay the toll fee if you are driving to the illuminated ski trail only, but please pay the regular fee at the boom gate if you are going further into the valley.
