Sauda Skisenter
Sauda Skisenter is a winter sports centre located on a mountain above the village of Saudasjøen and about 5 kilometers from the town of Sauda in Rogaland, Norway. [1] [2] [3]
Recreational facility
The base of Sauda Skisenter, formerly known as SvandalenSkisenter, is at an altitude of about 360 meters above sea level. Visitors can reach 1100 meters by taking the T-bar lifts to the top. Surrounding mountains reach up to 1500 meters. Sauda Skisenter was built in 1968, has a large base lodge, and offers ski/snowboard/telemark and other equipment rentals. It is a scenic and snow-rich family venue that offers extreme skiing peaks and a terrain park, with multiple half-pipes, big jumps, rails, and rolls with a skier-cross course. Recently, Sauda Skisenter proposed to spend $2,000,000 on a new chairlift which would greatly encourage a lot of extra tourism. Ski-in and -out mountain cabins were built in 2002 around the ski area. Popular places to stay are Sauda Fjordhotell (built 1915) and Kløver Hotel. [4]
