The ski area at Hodlekve above Sogndal in western Norway, with five lifts and fourteen runs spread from gentle children's ground to genuinely challenging terrain.

The setting is fjord country, and the mountains here get a great deal of snow from the Atlantic weather, which gives the area a following among off piste skiers well beyond the marked runs.

The Dalalåven café at the base is a local institution and the centre has grown into a year round destination with mountain biking in summer. Sogndal town is a short drive away and the Sognefjord, the longest in Norway, is right there. Bergen is around three and a half hours.
