Harpefossen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harpefossen (often referred to as Harpefossen Skisenter) is a winter sports resort and year-round outdoor recreation area located in the Hjelmelandsdalen valley in Stad Municipality, Vestland county, Norway. Situated approximately 11 kilometers from the administrative center of Nordfjordeid, it is the largest ski facility in the Nordfjord region.
The resort features a network of alpine slopes, off-piste terrain, and a dedicated children's ski area. The base of the facility is located at an elevation of 300 meters above sea level, with the highest lifts reaching approximately 815 meters.[1]
Harpefossen also serves as a central hub for cross-country skiing in the region. It maintains a network of groomed and floodlit trails, some of which follow the historic Trondhjemske postvei (the old postal road connecting Nordfjord and Sunnmøre) through five traditional mountain farm areas (setrer).[2] The resort is a participating member of the "Alpepass" system, a regional ticketing collaboration that includes nine major ski centers across Western Norway.[3]
