Our farm hotel is the choice for many who ski as we have excellent conditions for mountain, off-piste, cross country and randonée.
The nights grow longer, and snow blankets the resting ground. In the extraordinary brilliance of a wintry afternoon, guests gather around an open fire by the lake, indulging in the heat of its flames after a morning spent walking beneath brilliant blue skies and a white sun. The rustling of sheep in their modern winter enclosure and the occasional neighing of horses are reminders that Solneset is still very much alive. White lights illuminate the ever-darkening evenings where, within, small stoves warm the lounge and dining spaces.
Gulfjellet Located behind the Farm, you will find the highest pike in the Bergen area (Gullfjellstoppen) at 987 meters above sea level. Here you can find peaceful and quiet places where it can be long before you meet another skier. In recent years, the area has become a popular randonée area, where you can make your own track in untouched snow. Even in dark evenings, it has become popular to drive with good headlamps.
Ulriken Between the Farm and the city of Bergen, you will find the mountain which also has a lot of skiing possibilities. It is possible to walk from the Farm over Ulriken to the city centre. Then you can combine a ski trip with amazing views and a city trip in one; it is convenient to use public transport back to the Farm.
Voss One hour from the Farm, where you will find the largest ski resort in Western Norway. Voss has something to offer skiers at all levels, whether you are a beginner just learning how to ski, or an experienced skier looking for something a bit more challenging.
We provide detailed maps and guidance to all guests.
Weather conditions vary, from bright sun and fresh snow to intense wind with flying snow.
We can assist in finding the best quality equipment, experience and the right clothing for comfort and safety.
In return, you get fantastic nature in varied and exciting mountain terrain. With high peaks, sheltered valleys and great off-piste downhill skiing.
