An active and exciting summer in Valldal
Are you ready for an active summer with your friends or family? In Valldal we offer climbing, rafting, canyoning, kayaking, cycling, mountain tours and more. Welcome to Adventure Valley!
Lying on a sunbed with a book can be great, but not everyone is happy to spend the whole summer lying still. Are you one of them? If so, we can strongly recommend a summer visit to Valldal, the Adventure Valley which is the perfect place for an active summer. We have gathered some great tips for your list of adventures.
Rafting down the river Valldøla
This is a fresh and exciting nature experience in beautiful surroundings. White water rafting in Valldal suits most people, whether you are a beginner or have tried rafting before.
The Valldøla river is perfect for rafting with fun rapids spread over a stretch of 11 kilometres. Feel the excitement, have a blast swimming, and be served a small local delicacy during a stop on the riverbank. The grading of the section we raft is 2 to 3. This means that there are tough and exciting rapids, but also quiet parts where you get to enjoy the spectacular surroundings we raft through. Depending on which tour you choose, you get action and excitement tailored to your level.
Canyoning in Gudbrandsjuvet
In late summer, when the water flow in the river drops, we can start activities in the Gudbrandsjuvet. Canyoning is about moving through a river canyon and can be done in different ways. We have set a unique trail that offers balancing on a rope, jumping into the gorge, climbing , zip -line and swimming!
Juving takes place close to Gubrandsjuvet , about 15 kilometers from the center of Valldal in the direction of Trollstigen. We stay in a part of the river where the water flows calmly through spectacular formations in the mountains. Here we have created a trail with fun obstacles. We start at the top of the gorge and move down. Book your canyoning trip with Uteguiden here.

We can tempt you with more than 1,500 meters of climbing trails, long zip lines, bag jump, and bouncy castles. Take a trip to Valldal Aktivitetspark for an active and fun experience.
