Welcome to Morgedal!

"The cradle of modern skiing"

Morgedal is a beautiful valley with a unique and famous heritage... it is here that modern ski sport has its roots. Sondre Norheim the "father of modern skiing" was born here in 1825 and together with his protégées, revolutionised the way the world would ski. From out of this little, unassuming valley came peasant farmers; men of vision and ingenuity, who by their skill and passion, placed skiing on the world map.
Today that passion for skiing lives on - all year round! A visit to Morgedal is a must for anyone interested in this exciting sport.
Skiing and ski sport are a proud and important part of Norway's heritage. Here in Morgedal, we invite you to share in that heritage and experience an iconic piece of Norway.
