Discover Vrådal - Things To Do

Your guide to things to do, events, food, activities and experiences in Vrådal.

This page is created especially for everyone working on the data centre project in Fyresdal.

Vrådal is a small and welcoming tourist village, located just a short drive from Fyresdal. Surrounded by lakes, forests and mountains, it is a great place to spend your free time – whether you are looking for good food, a drink with colleagues, sports and activities, events, or simply somewhere to relax after work.

Through this page, we will share information about what is happening in Vrådal, including activities, events, restaurants, outdoor experiences and special offers.

But most importantly, we want to hear from you.

Our aim is to create activities, events and packages based on what you and your colleagues would actually like to do. Where possible, we will also arrange transport between Fyresdal and Vrådal, making it easy to join without having to drive.

Looking for a football night, live music, a boat trip, golf, hiking, kayaking, a barbecue, a party, a good meal or something completely different?

Tell us what you would like to do – and we will see if we can make it happen.
