Liapark

Liapark is a very special place, we chose to visit it in the summer to relax, take in the views and do a bit of low effort hiking. The owner sent through lots of help to find the spot and the cabin, and kindly met us with an english language binder with things to do in the area. The cabin was clean and very spacious for 2 people. The kitchen was well prepared to cook a good bunch of meals and the closest shop has everything you would need. (even found some suggestions on local food in the binder provided!) There is so much natural beauty around Ål. Every drive we took we would find new interesting places to explore. All with breathtaking views with snowcapped mountains in the backdrop. We will hopefully be returning to Liapark and this picturesque part of Norway as soon as we can.

The cabin is modern, luxurious and spacious. We found everything we needed for us and even for our baby. The views are spectacular and you can rent sledges to have fun in the snow. These two days have just been perfect.

No shower gel and bath mat

Very close to.cross-country skiing track, amazing view, super cozy and comfortable house

Nothing, all great

Stunning location, the sunrise in particular!

We had a fantastic stay at the Liapark. The location is high up, so you get absolutely stunning views all around. The cabin was perfect for our stay as we wanted to do cross country skiing, which we could do, literally right from the door, with an extensive network of trails that are regularly groomed and well laid out. The ability to do some night skiing as well was another plus. The host ordered us in the skis so they were there to use for our arrival which was fantastic, saving us a lot of faff. The host was also very responsive to any questions or issues that we had. Inside the cabin was spacious, cosy and well equipped for self catering and the information booklet helpful for any general info on the cabin or things to do in the area etc. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was decent. The sauna was also great to warm up in after a day out skiing, so nice to have that on-site! Would love to revisit again soon!

Only a couple of minor things: The instructions on arrival were not clear. We were meant to receive a text message with the check-in information but it never came through (maybe because I have a foreign number), so I would suggest also copying this info and sending via email/booking.com messaging app so it definitely gets to the customer to avoid unnecessary timewasting. There were no logs or firelighters in the cabin on arrival. While you could go and collect logs from the store outside, as these were covered in snow and wet they wouldn't light very well initially, so it would be helpful if a few logs and firelighters were available inside on arrival so a fire could be lit straight away. There was no bathmat, which we found a bit irritating and had to sacrifice a hand towel to use instead.
