Alpine & Skiing

Ski days that give peace of mind

The Easter holiday at Straand and in Vrådal Panorama is about the perfect mix of activity and tranquility. Start the day out with alpine skiing in the ski center or a leisurely cross-country skiing trip on snow-covered slopes.

Afterwards, you can land in the warmth of Straand – with a heated pool and sauna, or head to the wood-fired sauna in Vrådal Panorama. For those who like contrasts: finish with a refreshing ice bath and enter the evening with new energy.

Food & Fun

Great food made with local ingredients

At Straand Hotel, the food is an important part of the experience. We make dishes with good, local ingredients and draw inspiration from the nature around us and the traditions we stand in. Whether you want to enjoy a simple lunch, something tasty in the piano bar, or a dinner that feels a little extra, you’ll find something to suit.

Easter

Golf in late spring

Find the spring feeling at Easter and play a game of golf on one of Norway’s most beautiful 9-hole courses on Fossøy, a short walk from Vrådal city center!

Vrådal is perfect for
Play, fun and coziness
