Korlevoll ski stadium is the starting point for several nice ski trips but be sure to check if it isn't just as good just hopping on the trail outside the cabin before you jump into the car.

Essentials

This is a small local grocery store that has the essentials. They do not have fancy mustards or juicy cuts of steak. Just the basics to keep you alive in the mountains. Well and of course ice cream for the days when the temperature exceeds 17 degrees.

This is a great roadside stop on the way from Haugesund. They have a family restaurant with all the traditional food like meatballs and such. They also have a grocery store that is open on the weekends. Their selection of meats is very good and you will find great smoked sausage and other cold cuts. I recommend the pesto salami!

Røldal alpine ski center is situated over the tree line, so you wont have to pass through narrow forest trails, but you can ski where you please on the mountain. The base is at 80 meters over the sea with 7 lifts to bring you up to 1300 moh. One of Norway's most certain snow covered ski centers.

This is the best restaurant in Odda. That's what trip advisor says. That is still not saying much. Generally speaking the western coast of Norway is not known for its culinary delights. Good, sturdy, salty meals that won't disturb your taste buds, washed down with a cup of coffee or a glass of clean clear water. This place luckily is run by a non-Norwegian and has a promising menu. Prices are steep 18 dollars for a veggie burger with fries but not unusually so for the middle of nowhere. Save your money for gastronomic experiences elsewhere and make your own dinner back at the cabin.
