Join Us at Stranda Ski Festival, February 5–8, 2026
You. Snow. Ski. The Sunnmøre Alps.
These four words embody everything we want you to feel. Expectations. Dreams. Ideas. Inspiration. You. Snow. Ski. Sunnmøre Alps. Four elements united as one.
There are many ski festivals, but only one at Stranda—one of the most spectacular and exotic ski destinations in the world. Here, snow sometimes falls in quantities that remind you of Alaska. The mountains are so dramatic that they might bring British Columbia to mind. As a legendary journalist once wrote in the 1990s: “Stranda is the La Grave of the North.”
He compared the ski area at Strandafjellet with the iconic Alpine destination La Grave in France—where off-piste skiing dominates, with steep peaks and deep snow.
That is exactly how Stranda is. So call us whatever you like: The La Grave of the North. Scandinavia’s Alagna. Norway’s Kicking Horse. What matters is that you come here yourself—and realize that Stranda truly is incomparable.
Because Stranda is unique.
Each year, we invite you to the Stranda Ski Festival to showcase our mountains—and our ski riding—to you and your friends. These festival days are sacred to us at Uteguiden. We may not be the largest ski festival in the world, but we wholeheartedly believe we are one of the most spectacular. It’s all about the mountains and fjords surrounding us.
But it’s also about us: the people of Uteguiden. Over these festival days in February, we want to show you everything we can—every skill in our toolkit, every adventurous peak, the secret powder lines in the ski area, the friendliest après-ski, and the best talks.
In early February 2026, we will create new stories.
New lines.
New memories.
Together with you and your friends.
But hurry to book—Stranda Ski Festival often fills fast!
No matter what: dive into our full festival program below. We can’t wait to see you in Stranda, February 2026!
