We’re excited to be returning to Myrkdalen, a snow-sure ski resort nestled in the dramatic mountain scenery of western Norway. A favourite among Bergen locals , Myrkdalen offers an unspoilt alpine experience with reliable snow, uncrowded slopes, and warm Scandinavian hospitality.
Myrkdalen is the perfect setting for an Oak Hall week of adventure, refreshment, and great friendships. This is a great resort for skiers of all abilities, especially beginners and intermediates.
Myrkdalen boasts 40km of groomed pistes, with an excellent range of terrain for all levels:
Lift passes are reasonably priced, and there is a local ski hire centre right in the resort. We’ll be bringing our own friendly Oak Hall instructors, so you’ll be in good hands whether you’re clipping into skis for the first time or refining your technique.
Located just inland from Norway’s famous fjords, Myrkdalen is known for its natural beauty, open skies, and quiet trails. On clear nights, there's even the chance to see the Northern Lights dancing overhead—an unforgettable bonus if conditions are right.
Despite its popularity among Norwegians, the resort offers a refreshing sense of escape and exhilaration.
It's possible for you to arrange other activities (such as cross country skiing or a day trip to the Fjords) through local providers. We recommend booking these in advance.
Our base for the week is Helgatun Fjellpensjonat, a welcoming mountain lodge run by local Christians, situated right on the slopes for ski-in, ski-out convenience. The lodge offers a variety of comfortable rooms.
We will enjoy full board throughout the week, beginning each day with a hearty Norwegian breakfast, offering a selection of fresh breads, cheeses, cereals, fruit and other traditional fare to fuel a full day on the slopes. In the evenings, a wholesome, home-cooked dinner is served, providing a warm and satisfying end to each day. For lunch, guests prepare their own sandwiches each morning from a range of ingredients provided—perfect for enjoying on the mountain or back at the accommodation during a midday break.
After our Oak Hall evening meeting, most nights we will relax in the comfortable mountain centre. The spacious lounge is perfect for chatting with friends or enjoying a board game together. There's also table tennis available. On other evenings, we might take a stroll under the stars along the picturesque trails that run past our mountain lodge or head into nearby Myrkdalen village for ten-pin bowling. Myrkdalen is a quiet and peaceful place with everything we need for a fantastic week on the snow is right at our doorstep.
As with every Oak Hall expedition, the week will be filled with shared experiences, good conversation, new friendships, and times of spiritual encouragement. Whether it’s a reflective walk under the stars, lively conversation over dinner, or thought-provoking Bible talks in the evening, Myrkdalen offers the space and setting for a wonderful winter break.
This is a brand new destination for Oak Hall—and one we’re excited to explore together. Join us in Myrkdalen for excellent skiing, genuine community, and stunning Norwegian scenery.
We look forward to seeing you on the slopes of Myrkdalen!
