About
Discover the calm of a Norwegian winter evening on this guided stargazing tour in Vrådal. Starting from Straand Hotel, you'll set off on snowshoes for a 1-kilometre journey into the stillness of the snow-covered landscape.
As you move through forest paths and open terrain, the quiet of nature creates a serene atmosphere. The route is gentle and suitable for those with basic skiing skills. With each step, the surrounding mountains and deep woods bring a sense of calm, far from the lights and sounds of everyday life.
