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.
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.
In Vrådal, you are in the middle of nature’s own playground. Go skiing, take an ice bath or just relax outside. Afterwards, you will find the warmth with a good cup of cocoa and delicious food at Straand Hotel.
