Who is Morgedal Aktiv?
Morgedal Aktiv is the passion project of three outdoor enthusiasts: Helge Byggland, Tarjei Gjelstad, and Anders Aks. With deep roots and a heart for Telemark, we are driven by nature, mastery, and community. Our vision is to create more vitality, pride, and establish a central hub for world-class tour experiences.
Our Unique Tour Experiences in Winter
Take a break from the everyday and join us for a memorable trip through Telemark's fantastic landscape. Our tours are more than just a walk; they are a journey through local history and culture, led by our local expert guides.
- Storytelling: Hear exciting local stories—true, untrue, and somewhere in between—as you hike.
- Destination: The tour heads to one of the majestic mountain peaks nearby or through picturesque forest areas.
- Fireside Lunch: We light a fire, boil coffee on a black kettle, and serve a substantial packed lunch (bring your own drinks).
Choose Your Adventure in the Snow
- Ski Touring: Experience freedom on mountain skis or rando/alpine touring skis in untouched powder snow, or opt for a longer trip on well-groomed cross-country ski trails.
- Traditional Wooden Ski Adventure (Unique Offer): For those seeking something truly special, we offer tours using handcrafted wooden skis, equipped with modern design and bindings. An authentic experience!
- Snowshoeing: If you prefer to explore the landscape on foot, a snowshoe tour is a fantastic alternative.
The Perfect Conclusion: Wellness and Gourmet
After an eventful day in nature, you deserve to relax. The tour concludes with:
- Spa at Morgedal Hotell: Enjoy a well-deserved moment of relaxation and wellness.
- Delicious Dinner: A tasteful dinner awaits to complete a perfect day.
