Activities:
Fishing and hiking
The surrounding area of Haugen Fjellgard offers an abundance of natural beauty and outdoor activities, making the farm perfect for those seeking outdoor recreation. In summer hiking and fishing are popular activities, and many find summer hiking underrated compared to skiing. Not so far away, flows the beautiful Ekso River. The river is abundant with fish, due to the varying currents in the river. The river can some places have a strong current, with current breaks, and pools right off the path of the main current. But also calmer currents where the river flows into small lakes. This makes the river suitable for fishing enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels. Ask the hosts how to obtain a fishing permit. In a small lake nearby there is a 14 feet rowing boat to use free of charge.
Farming
Haugen Fjellgard keeps domestic animals, mainly cattle and sheep. When the animals are grazing during the summer season, we start cutting grass to make hay for the animals for the winter time. This is a fun activity you can take part in.
Skiing
In winter you can start skiing from the doorstep. Your hosts offer the best of local knowledge in the area, and can help you choose destinations and excursions you will enjoy. The varied terrain is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. There are several peaks, for those who like more challenging routes, but also more flat and easy terrain ideal for families with children. The mountain terrain is easily accessible for everyone. Gravel roads constructed by the local energy company BKK, makes it possible to drive far into the mountains until the snow stops you.
