LINDEFJELLET - SKI AND HIKING HOLIDAY APARTMENT IN BORTELID FJELL RESORT, BORTELID-ÅSERAL
IN THE HEART OF THE FJELLS - THE IDEAL STARTING POINT FOR ACTIVE HOLIDAY DAYS
A few days on the ski slopes, a week of cross-country skiing, or exploring the mountains around Bortelid in the summer? Lindefjellet is a modern holiday apartment for those who like to travel during their vacation and value comfortable accommodation in a central location.
Completed in 2026, the maisonette is located in the new Bortelid Fjell Resort in the heart of Bortelid-Åseral. It offers 46.6 square meters of living space and can accommodate up to five people, with a separate bedroom with a double bed and an open sleeping gallery with three additional sleeping spaces.
The furnishings are modern and functional, with light wood surfaces, a well-equipped kitchen, and a cozy living area. The view of the surrounding mountains underscores the character of this small holiday apartment in the Norwegian mountains.
The location is particularly convenient: the cross-country ski trails start right at the building, and the Bortelid Ski Center is only about 700 meters away. Shops and a café are located on the ground floor.
This makes Lindefjellet ideal for a sporty winter holiday, a long weekend or a varied holiday week in the mountains of southern Norway.
LIVING AND COOKING - ALL FOCUSED ON THE ESSENTIALS
On the first floor you will find a cozy living and kitchen area with 16.9 square meters of space.
The open-plan design combines a modern kitchenette with a dining area for five people and a sofa corner with a smart TV.
Here you can enjoy a meal together after a day in the fresh air, plan your next hike, or relax and unwind in the evening.
The kitchen is equipped for daily self-catering and has an induction hob, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and a separate freezer with three drawers.
A filter coffee machine, kettle, toaster, as well as dishes, cutlery and cooking utensils are also provided. There is no microwave.

The apartment is deliberately designed to be compact and offers comfortable living conditions for guests who want to spend their holidays mainly in nature.
DOUBLE BED ROOM AND OPEN SLEEPING GALLERY
Lindefjellet has two sleeping areas with a total of five beds.
On the first floor there is a separate bedroom with a box-spring double bed (150 x 200 cm). The room is 6.3 square meters and offers two people their own private retreat.

The lower bed has a sleeping area of 150 x 200 cm and can accommodate two people. Above it is a single bed with a sleeping area of 75 x 200 cm.
The gallery is particularly suitable for families with older children or guests who are traveling together and are comfortable with an open sleeping arrangement.
IMPORTANT: ACCESS VIA A STEEP SPIRAL STAIRCASE
The sleeping gallery is only accessible via a steep spiral staircase and is not designed as a completely enclosed bedroom.
Families with small children and people with limited mobility should definitely take this construction method into account.
The stairs are also an important point for guests who frequently need to use the bathroom at night.
The bathroom is located exclusively on the first floor.
BATHROOM AND APARTMENT LAYOUT
The holiday apartment extends over the first and second floors of the building.
On the first floor there is the entrance, the kitchen with living and dining area, the separate double bedroom and a bathroom with shower, washbasin and toilet.
The bathroom is modernly furnished and offers everything essential for daily needs.

Bed linen, towels and final cleaning are included in the rental price.
MOUNTAIN VIEWS AND CENTRAL LOCATION IN BORTELID-ÅSERAL
Lindefjellet offers a beautiful view of the surrounding mountain landscape of Bortelid.
The holiday apartment does not have its own balcony or terrace. However, those who enjoy sitting outdoors or want to enjoy nature will find numerous opportunities for walks and activities directly in front of the building.
Lake Bortelidtjønna, with a bathing area, is just a few steps away.
In summer, the area features green mountain slopes, forests, and small lakes. In winter, when there is sufficient snow, the landscape transforms into a snow-covered mountain world.
THE ADVANTAGES OF THE BORTELID FJELL RESORT
Lindefjellet is part of the new Varden Leilighetshotell, which has a total of ten individually designed holiday apartments.
The building is located right in the center of Bortelid. On the ground floor there is a grocery store, a café and the service office with information on excursions and activities.
The central location is particularly convenient for shorter stays. You don't have to get in the car for every shopping trip and can easily reach many shops and services on foot.
A leisure rental shop offers a variety of equipment depending on the season and availability. This includes, among other things, e-bikes, mountain bikes, canoes, kayaks, SUP boards, and snowshoes.
A shared gym and a pay-per-use laundry room are available in the building. Their availability should be confirmed in advance.
The holiday apartment itself does not have a washing machine or tumble dryer.
Free parking is available directly at the building. An electric vehicle charging station is located on the opposite side of the street.
SKI HOLIDAY IN BORTELID - SHORT DISTANCES TO CROSS-COUNTRY SKI TRAILS AND SKI SLOPES
For winter sports enthusiasts, the location of Lindefjellet is particularly attractive.
When there is sufficient snow, access to the extensive cross-country skiing area begins directly in front of the resort. Around 120 kilometers of trails wind through the diverse mountain landscape around Bortelid.
Whether it's athletic training, a leisurely family outing or a longer tour through the snowy mountains: the trails offer different options for beginners and experienced cross-country skiers.
The ski center is also easily accessible. The Bortelid Ski Center, with its 14 slopes, is only about 700 meters from the holiday apartment.
Here you can go downhill skiing or snowboarding. Tobogganing, winter hiking and snowshoeing offer additional variety.
Especially for a weekend trip or a short ski week, it is convenient when accommodation, shopping facilities and winter sports opportunities are so close together.
With good snow conditions, the winter season sometimes extends into late spring. Actual operating hours depend on weather and snow conditions.
HIKING HOLIDAYS AND MOUNTAIN TOURS IN SOUTHERN NORWAY
Even outside the ski season, Bortelid is an interesting destination for exercise and nature experiences.
From the holiday apartment you can reach numerous marked hiking trails. The landscape offers diverse tours over mountain ridges, through forests and along clear lakes.
Those who prefer higher altitudes can explore the mountains on more challenging hikes. Climbing and mountaineering are also possible in suitable areas of the region.
Cyclists and mountain bikers will also find attractive opportunities to explore the surrounding area. Those who prefer a relaxing day on the water can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding on suitable lakes.
The nearby bathing area at Bortelidtjønna is a particularly nice destination for a day trip on warm summer days.
For children and families, mini-golf and the disc golf course at the ski center offer additional variety.
TROUT FISHING AND FLY FISHING IN THE MOUNTAIN LAKES
There are numerous lakes around Bortelid where trout can be found.
The waters offer diverse opportunities for anglers who like to combine fishing with hiking and nature experiences.
An interesting starting point is Bortelidtjønna, right next to the resort. Other fishing opportunities can be found, for example, at Beinsvatn, Rondatjønna and Kvitevatn.
Depending on the body of water, fishing can be done from the shore, from a canoe, or at suitable spots using a fly rod.
The fishing permit for the local fishing area is already included for our guests. You can pick it up at reception.
Additional fishing permits may be required for certain other bodies of water. Please observe the local fishing regulations.
Even on a purely skiing holiday, trout fishing can be an interesting addition. In winter, ice fishing is only possible when the ice is sufficiently safe and in compliance with the applicable local regulations.
BORTELID IN SPRING AND AUTUMN
Those who visit Bortelid outside of the classic holiday season often experience the mountains as particularly peaceful.
In spring, the days grow longer and the first hiking and cycling trails become accessible again. Sometimes there is still snow on the higher mountain slopes, while in the valley the first days of spring can already be enjoyed.
In autumn, you can expect vibrant colors, clear air, and tranquil mountain lakes. This season is particularly suitable for hiking, nature photography, relaxing fishing trips, and short breaks from everyday life.
Lindefjellet thus offers practical accommodation in the heart of the Norwegian mountains, not only for winter sports, but also in spring, summer and autumn.
WHO IS LINDEFJELLET SUITABLE FOR?
Lindefjellet is particularly appealing to guests who are looking for a cozy and functional holiday apartment without placing much value on additional living space or a private outdoor area.
The apartment is suitable for couples with children, small families with older children and active holidaymakers who want to spend a lot of time outdoors.
The five sleeping places are distributed between a double bedroom and an open sleeping gallery. This allows for flexible occupancy, although the living area, at 16.9 square meters, is rather compact for five adults.
Those who enjoy traveling together and are comfortable with this layout will find this a great starting point for skiing holidays, hiking holidays and nature experiences.
Detailed information on leisure activities, fishing waters, hiking, winter sports, cycling tours and excursion destinations can be found in our Leisure / Fishing section of the property menu.
