Top of range winter activities in Stranda
The sight of the fjord scenery combined with mighty
alpine mountains is enough to take anyone’s breath
away. “Incredibly beautiful and challenging” say
people who have seen alpine complexes all around
the world. “Action to the extreme”, is one comment,
“Paradise on earth”, is another, - “with the fjord
glistening far below you, it gives skiing pleasure
a totally new dimension”, wrote another.
A completely new attraction is “the Dance of the
Trolls” – an open-air music and dance performance.
Performances last 18 minutes. The dance of the trolls
also has an environmental message. The music has
been specially commissioned.
Performances by arrangement.
