Furedalen alpin

Off season Official site

Furedalen alpin is a ski area in Norway, at about 463 m. Its mapped area is about 1.1 km across, with 3 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 2.3 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 592 cm of snowfall a season, 44th of 3,069 worldwide and 6th in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (1,129 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (369 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 167 cm.

The nearest city of any size is Bergen, about 36 km away.

Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.

We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.
