The winter at Bjørkestølen is like something out of a postcard - quiet snowfall, twinkling stars and ski slopes that lead you straight into the fairytale. Here you can enjoy the peace, the clear mountain air from Tisleidalen and the joy of being in the middle of the nature.
Here, the winter is all about the good experiences - build snow caves eith the family, light the fire or take an evening walk under the starry sky.

Above the campsite (following part of the ski trail), there is a trail going to the right. This trail goes all the way up to Hestmyra, and it follows the path that goes up there in the summer. When you reach Hestmyra, you can choose to go back the same way, or follow some of the trails used in the summer.
Just a short drive away are the ski resorts at Golsfjellet and in Aurdal – perfect for both families and those looking for some speed and excitement on the slopes. As our guest, you get a discount at both Aurdal Ski Center and Bualie.
