Hiking in Vrådal

Historic Straand Hotel is a destination where we have a lot of beautiful nature and hiking of varying degrees of difficulty in the immediate area. We are happy to help you find an afternoon trip along Lake Nisser, or a more challenging summit trip.

Veneli hiking area

Veneli hiking area is a beautifully prepared hiking area, with opportunities for both hiking in forest terrain as well as a trip to the top of Venelifjell, where you have a view of large parts of the area around Lake Nisser.
Here it is arranged for trips that are suitable for both small and large.

Hægefjell

From the top of Vrådal Panorama ski center you can take the trip over the mountain peaks towards Hægefjell. The trip begins in forest terrain, but leads quickly up to the tree line and mountain and marsh landscapes with great views of large areas both down towards Nisser and up towards the northern parts of the region
The top of Hægefjell is located at 1021 meters above sea level and the trip is moderately demanding.

Roholtfjell

Mountain peak at over 1,000 masl with T-marked trail both from Vrådal center and from Heia between Kviteseid and Vrådal (RV 41).
This is a slightly tougher mountain hike where part of the hike goes on steep boulders. On this trip, you should wear shoes with good grip on both dry and wet surfaces.
At the top awaits a wonderful view.
