MAIN RULES

Before arriving Myrkdalen Mountain Resort, please ask yourself:  

• Do I feel unwell or am I in quarantine? 

Is the answer yes to any of them, you shall not visit Myrkdalen. In order for us to run the ski resort and its associated facilities, we depend on people who have symptoms of infection, are ill, or in quarantine are staying home.

If you are feeling well you are most welcome to visit us, with a friendly reminder of the rules that apply in general in the society:

LIFT PASSES / TICKETS

We strongly encourage everyone to purchase lift passes online prior to arrival in Myrkdalen. There are two reasons why this is beneficial for you as a customer: 

• We have space restrictions at the ski resort, everyone with pre-booked lift passes will have priority at the ski resort
• You do not have to stand in line at the ticket office 

You can top up a Key Card that you already have. If you do not have a Key Card, you can buy this online and pick it up at one of the vending machines located at Myrkdalen Sport & Skiutleie and at the reception at Myrkdalen Hotel. At the vending machines you can also buy lift passes. The ticket office in Myrkdalsstovo will be open, but remember to keep your distance and use the disinfection that is located at the ticket office. 

Do you have a season pass?  
You will have priority in the ski resort all winter season.

SKI RESORT

We do not know whether there will be reduced capacity on the lifts or space restriction in the resort this year, but we work with this together with the authorities.  

We encourage you as guests to:  

• Share lift together with your own travelling partners or family 
• Keep distance to other people in lift queues and in general 

This is what we do:  

• In weekends, holidays and busy days we will have extra staff available in the resort to help you and to recommend lifts/cafés with less queue. Please contact them if needed 
• The lifts are not actively filled  
• We will not actively assist when boarding t-bars, disk lifts, or the magic carpet 
• Single skier entrance will be kept open in order to create distance in the queue, and to vacant seats where there is a vacant seat between strangers. Staff will stand the lift to help 
• We are also looking into other measures to spread the traffic throughout the facility to utilize its full capacity

One thing is for sure - we will do everything we can to facilitate safe skiing and adventures with us this winter, but we depend on you following all the advice given.
