6 Adventures you must Experience in Hallingdal
The mountain village of Ål in Hallingdal offers a plethora of activities and experiences.
1. Horse riding in the mountains
Join a horseback ride from Skarslia up to Bergsjø, a journey that takes about 2 hours. If you want to experience other parts of the mountain, there are opportunities for both half-day and full-day trips. This is a fantastic experience if you want to see Hallingdal and the mountains at their best while on horseback.
2. From the bike
Hallingdal is a cycling paradise! Mountain biking with Ål Adventure is an extreme experience. You will be provided with an electric bike. A guide will take you up the mountain to the most incredible view.
Of course, the ride back down is the most fun. You have to trust that the bike will take you down safely, but you ride at your own pace.

3. Get your adrenaline pumping
Are you the adventurous type? How about pushing your limits with rafting in Numedalslågen or trying the Via Ferrata course in Hemsedal?
Serious Fun rafting offers a thrilling experience in Numedalslågen, with different difficulty levels. Children can also join in on the fun. They offer family rafting, premium rafting for a more action-packed trip, and extreme rafting for the bravest.
Experienced guides from Hemsedal Fjellsport will take you on the Via Ferrata in Hemsedal. There are steep mountain sides and narrow mountain ledges, but you will be guided through the route safely and securely.
4. Fresh mountain air and beautiful nature
We recommend taking the sherpa stairs, which go up from Hol. There are 2000 steps to Hallingskarvet. Other nice hikes include Lauvdalsbrea and Iungsdalen, where you can walk to the tourist cabin Iungsdalshytta to buy sour cream porridge or Norwegian pancakes. On the west side of the village, you will find Dyna, which is also a nice hike. There are several shorter routes closer to the center, including Sundreberget and Nasakamben.
