A shared gym and a laundry room with washing machines are available in the building. Both facilities are subject to a fee. Their availability should be confirmed before use.

Free parking is available directly at the building. An electric vehicle charging station is located on the opposite side of the street.

WINTER HOLIDAY - SKIING, SNOWBOARDING AND CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING

Bortelid is one of the most popular winter sports areas in southern Norway and offers ideal conditions for a varied winter holiday.

The Bortelid Ski Center, the largest ski resort in Åseral, is located just 700 meters from Rysefjellet. The alpine center offers a variety of slopes for different skill levels, providing excellent options for both families and more advanced skiers. Its location is particularly attractive for cross-country skiers. The cross-country trails begin right in front of the Varden Hotel. From here, you can access the extensive network of trails in Bortelid.

More than 120 kilometers of cross-country ski trails lead through forests, across open mountain areas and past the numerous lakes in the surrounding area.

There's plenty to discover away from the ski slopes as well. Snowshoeing, tobogganing, winter walks, and cozy hours spent in the snow-covered landscape offer a welcome change of pace. Snowshoes for children and adults can be rented from the local rental shop.

For anglers, winter offers a special experience when ice conditions are sufficiently safe: ice fishing on frozen mountain lakes.

Depending on snow and weather conditions, the winter sports season can extend well into spring. Actual operating hours depend on current conditions.

SUMMER HOLIDAY - HIKING, CYCLING, SWIMMING AND WATER SPORTS

Bortelid is much more than a classic winter sports resort. Even in summer, the region offers numerous opportunities for families, nature lovers, and active holidaymakers.

The surrounding mountain landscape is crisscrossed by marked hiking trails. The options range from leisurely strolls along the lakes to more challenging mountain tours with magnificent views.

Cyclists and mountain bikers will also find a variety of routes through the forests and mountains. E-bikes, mountain bikes, and children's bikes can be rented from the service office.

The bathing area on Lake Bortelidtjønna is located right next to the building. Other beautiful lakes for swimming are also nearby.

Those who wish to discover the mountain lakes from the water can rent canoes, kayaks or SUP boards, depending on availability.

For families, the mini-golf course with nine holes right in the center and the disc golf course with 18 baskets at the ski center also offer a nice change of pace.

Rock climbing, orienteering tours and other outdoor activities complement the leisure activities on offer.

A typical Norwegian feature is the roller ski track directly in front of the building. In summer, the cross-country ski trails are used for this purpose.

TROUT FISHING - FISHING HOLIDAY AT THE NORWEGIAN MOUNTAIN LAKES

Bortelid is also an interesting holiday destination for anglers. Trout live in the numerous mountain lakes around Bortelid.
According to our local advisors, the fish stocks are very healthy, although the fish are often on the smaller side. This makes it a great opportunity for families with children and novice anglers to have their first fishing experience.

Fishing permits for the local fishing area are included for guests of Rysefjellet and are issued at reception, as there are simply too many fish in the lakes. Additional fishing permits may be required for certain other bodies of water.

Among the interesting fishing waters are Beinsvatn, Kvitevatn, Rondatjønna, and Bortelidtjønna. Other mountain lakes in the area also offer good opportunities for trout fishing. In some cases, you can easily fish from the shore. At Beinsvatn, you can also rent a canoe and explore the lake from the water.

Fishing is also possible in winter if ice conditions are sufficiently safe.

Especially for our guests who have mainly experienced Norway through sea fishing, Bortelid offers an interesting opportunity to get to know freshwater fishing in the Norwegian mountains.

SPRING AND AUTUMN - NATURE HOLIDAYS OFF-PEAK SEASON

A trip to the Agder mountains is also worthwhile in spring and autumn. In spring, nature slowly awakens from its winter slumber. The days grow longer, the lakes thaw, and depending on snow conditions, the first hiking and cycling tours begin.

Autumn delights with its colorful landscapes, clear mountain air, and special tranquility. Now is the perfect time for long hikes, nature photography, mushroom hunting, berry picking, and relaxing days of fishing.
Bortelid is a great choice, especially for guests who want to experience Norway away from the classic peak travel seasons.

LEISURE, EXCURSIONS AND SIGHTS AROUND BORTELID

In addition to winter sports and mountain lakes, the Åseral region offers numerous other opportunities for varied holidays.
For example, take a hike to Hesteheitoppen, explore the landscape on a bike tour to Ånebjør, or visit the natural rock pools at Juvatn.
There are also beautiful viewpoints, historical sights and other hiking destinations in the surrounding area.

Detailed information can be found under our Leisure / Fishing button at the top of the property menu.
There you will find information about fishing waters, fishing permits, hiking trails, bicycle and canoe rentals, swimming spots, winter sports opportunities, and excursion destinations. We have compiled numerous tips and recommendations from our local support team in Bortelid for you.
