Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From the cabin, there is a short walk to the Hovden senter with shops, cafes and restaurants. In the winter, you can put on your cross country skis just outside. Alpine center is some 600 meter walk, so I recomend to use car. There are numerous hiking alternatives - meny acsessible from the cabin
