Hovden Piste Map

The terrain at Hovden Skisenter is set across varied mountain zones, with the base station situated at 763 metres and a summit that tops out at 1,183 metres. The vertical drop of 420 metres allows for a well-balanced mix of cruising pistes and steeper sections. The main lifts include high-speed quads and surface lifts that connect all levels of difficulty across 42.5 km of skiable terrain.

Storenos side

Here you will find the main part of the facility with parking, a welcome center, ski rental, and a sports shop, as well as the activity center Hovden Aktiv, which offers everything from ski school to tobogganing. You will also find the restaurants Skikroa, Offpiste and Hovden Alpin Lodge here.
The slopes on the Storenos side range from black runs to green beginner slopes. Here you will also find the play area Tusseland, in addition to both parks and the ski cross trail. The 4-seater chairlift takes you to the top in approx 8 minutes, and if you don't want to go quite that far, you can choose between three ski tows and a ski carpet. What’s unique about the Storenos side is that the whole family can take the chairlift to the top and find slopes that suit them, regardless of skill level. This is also where the black slopes approved by FIS for slalom. The children's and cross-country slopes also start from this top, and on the way down, the park is strategically located. So here, everyone in the family can choose their slopes, meet at the bottom, and take the lift together back up again.

Breive side
Breive is a paradise for those who want to carve perfect turns, especially if you want to make the first tracks of the day. Here, you'll find the steep slopes and often have more space to enjoy your skiing.
There are three slopes, all served by a 4-seater chairlift, each offering varied terrain and a level of difficulty that challenges most skiers. The main slope, Breivelia, is a popular training ground.
At the base of Breive, you will find an unattended warming hut with restrooms where you can enjoy your packed lunches and drinks.

Hovdenuten
Hovdenuten is situated over 1100 meters above sea level, and for environmental reasons, the T-bar lift stops at 1000 meters. There is only one groomed slope down, but for those who love freeriding, we highly recommend this area. Many skiers carry their skis on their backs and hike all the way to the top, where you are promised a fantastic view and many exciting tracks down.
Remember that skiing outside the marked trails is at your own risk. Always check the avalanche information before you set off. From this area, you can also take the trails back to the base area on the Storenos side if you don't want to complete the entire loop via Breive.

Terrein park
Hovden boasts one of the country’s best park facilities, which has been nominated multiple times for "Park of the Year" by the Norwegian Snowboard Association. Thanks to a long T-bar lift, the park offers efficient runs with many laps per hour.
Hovden Park features both a red park and a blue park, packed with various elements. We cater to riders at all levels, from beginners to Norwegian Cup standards. The red jump line is the most renowned, consisting of three large jumps that give you plenty of time to try more challenging tricks. However, we never underestimate the joy of playing around on the smaller, but equally fun, features. The park typically includes over 30 elements, a mix of rails and jumps.

The park serves as a training ground for the Snowboard & Freeski program at Hovden Ski Academy and is the home arena for internationally recognized snowboarder Sindre Tveiten, who is also the park's team rider. This is a well-established park favored for national-level competitions, especially in slopestyle.

The children's area

The children’s slopes from the top of Mt. Storenos lead directly to the "Tusseland" area. This is a safe and well-organized area for families with the youngest skiing enthusiasts. The area features two button lifts and one conveyor lift, slopes for all levels, as well as a small kids' park with jumps and rails.

In Tusseland, benches are available for those who need a little break. There is also a small hut with restrooms. From the winter holidays and throughout the season, fire pits are set up for everyone to use, making it a great spot for the whole family to enjoy a break, meals, or some grilling.
