Klokkaråsen ski facility is located about a half-hour drive from Brønnøysund. The lit trails meander through a beautiful winter landscape, alternating between forests and open hills with scenic viewpoints. The slopes are moderately steep, providing a good challenge for those training or just enough thrill for children feeling the wind on their faces during a family outing. When the ski lift is open, you can even cheat a bit and take the lift to the top; it makes the kids more eager for another round.
There’s a shelter along the trail, and an open grill for free use at the starting area, near the ski lift. And when the café run by the local sports club is open, you can enjoy coffee and juice, waffles, and hot-dogs.
