About Rauland


 

Rauland has a rich and varied range of activities for everyone - whether you want to explore hiking trails and beautiful high mountain scenery or go for more fast-paced experiences.

With its central location between south, east and west, you have many attractions within easy reach, in addition to everything you can see and experience in the Rauland and Rjukan area.

For example, start the day with a cross-country trip in Silkedalen, take the car to Rjukan and treat yourself to some pampering in Rjukanbadet and perhaps a snack at Vierli Kafeteria before rounding off the day with a log fire and a film or book in the cabin.

In the summer, you might want to explore more of the area - visit the museums, take the children to Selstali Seter or Barnas Seter, enjoy the beach life at Fagersand, play a round of mini golf Vierli or take the Gaustabanen to the top of Telemark's roof. Visit Vierlitop or Falkeriset and take in the majestic view out towards Hardangervidda, or retreat, find peace and quiet by the banks of Totak - or in the cabin.

It depends on Rauland!
