Oppdal Ski Centre

Welcome to Oppdal Skisenter!

As one of Norway's largest ski resorts, Oppdal Skisenter stretches across four majestic mountains, offering an extensive skiing experience. The resort features 13 ski lifts and 35 diverse slopes, connected seamlessly via shuttle trails and the cross-lift (tverrheisen), allowing easy movement between different areas.

Vangslia:

Vangslia is the most frequented part of Oppdal Skisenter, known for being the first to open each season due to its reliable snowfall. This area is perfect for families and thrill-seekers alike. Vangslia has a dedicated children’s slope equipped with a conveyor lift, along with two chairlifts and two T-bar lifts serving eleven varied trails. Additionally, the terrain park here offers exciting jumps and obstacles, appealing to both young children and adventurous teens. The park usually opens around Christmas and evolves with new features as the season progresses.

Vangslia's favorable location provides ample sunshine, often making it warmer than the lower valleys. This area is ideal for all skill levels, featuring slopes ranging from easy greens to challenging blacks. Vangslia is the natural starting point for a memorable day on the slopes.

Stølen:

Located just 3 kilometers north of Oppdal Sentrum, Stølen offers a blend of accessible and diverse skiing opportunities. The area is home to five well-maintained slopes and four lifts, including a popular children’s slope, making it a family-friendly destination. Stølen’s terrain is versatile, providing both groomed trails and extensive off-piste areas. The gentle slopes by the mountain lift are particularly enjoyable during northwestern weather, offering safe powder runs with minimal avalanche risk. Many skiers, both locals and visitors, have taken their first turns in Stølen's welcoming beginner slopes.

Ådalen:

Tucked between the other three main areas, Ådalen is a hidden gem for powder enthusiasts. After northwest storms, Ådalen becomes a paradise for freeriders, thanks to its abundant fresh snow. The Ådalsheisen lift services a well-groomed slope and a transport trail that loops back to the valley. The area is renowned for the "Ådalsfjeset," a legendary face that hosts freeriding competitions and is a favorite for experienced skiers. Another notable feature is the "student hang," a snowy bowl with large cornices, ideal for adventurous jumps. Ådalen’s varied terrain makes it a go-to spot for those seeking challenging off-piste runs.

Hovden ("The Hill"):

Hovden, prominently visible to the north of Oppdal Sentrum, is celebrated as one of Norway’s premier and steepest ski slopes. This area has a single chairlift serving a black run, known for its steep and demanding terrain. Hovden is a training ground for many of Norway’s top skiers, including legends like Aksel Lund Svindal and Erik Håker. On powder days, Hovden offers a thrilling mix of challenging off-piste areas and impeccably groomed racing slopes. The slope’s difficulty and reputation draw both freeriders and competitive skiers. Hovden typically opens later in the season, initially operating only on weekends until the main winter holidays.

Come and explore the vast, varied slopes of Oppdal Skisenter. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned skier, there's something here for everyone. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery, the fresh mountain air, and the thrill of carving down these beautiful slopes.
