Beitostølen – Valdres

Welcome to First Camp Beitostølen – Valdres, a campsite near the mountains at the foot of the majestic Jotunheimen mountains. Here, a holiday paradise awaits – for families, couples, friends, and adventure-seekers, all year round. Beitostølen blends true wilderness feeling with comfort, activities, and warm Norwegian hospitality.

 

The campsite is beautifully located within walking distance of the town center, restaurants, and shops. Stay comfortably in well-equipped cabins of various sizes, or enjoy classic camping life with your caravan, motorhome, or tent – all just a short walk from the reception, service facilities, and on-site activities. After a day of adventure, unwind in the sauna or relax on your cabin terrace as the evening sun lights up the mountains.

 

In Beitostølen center, just 700 meters from the campsite, you’ll discover cozy restaurants, bars, and shops. Beitostølen has a lively, charming center with everything you need for a perfect mountain holiday – whether you’re shopping, dining out, or simply strolling between quaint mountain shops.

 

Winter adventures in the mountains

When Beitostølen is blanketed in fresh snow, the area transforms into a true winter wonderland. Here you’ll find one of the best cross-country trail networks in the Nordics, with miles of groomed tracks stretching into the mountains. For downhill enthusiasts, Beitostølen Ski Center offers great slopes and modern lift systems – ideal for the whole family.

 

Just a few kilometers away awaits Raudalen Ski Center, with steeper runs for those craving extra speed and excitement. If you want to experience winter in a more unique way, join a dog sledding tour, take a magical horse-drawn sleigh ride, or enjoy a peaceful outing to beautiful Lake Bygdin – a mountain moment you’ll never forget.

 

Summer and mountain activities

When summer arrives, Beitostølen comes alive with lush landscapes, sparkling lakes, and crisp mountain air. Outdoor lovers will find endless opportunities: hike to Melbyfjellet and Knausehøgda, or explore smaller peaks starting right from the campsite. There are also great cycling trails throughout the area. Try the spectacular Synshorn Via Ferrata, go horseback riding in the mountains, or feel nature’s power up close with rafting in the Sjoa River.

 

Beitostølen is also the perfect base for exploring Jotunheimen — whether you dream of summiting high peaks or prefer peaceful walks through green mountain terrain. Fishing enthusiasts will discover an abundance of idyllic mountain lakes teeming with trout — and nothing tastes better than a self-caught mountain fish after a long day outdoors.

 

On the campsite itself, you’ll find plenty of fun activities for the whole family. Kids can play freely on the playground while the rest of the family competes in a round of mini golf or a game of outdoor chess. Perfect for sunny summer days filled with relaxation, fun, and play. Many of our guests return year after year to rediscover the nature, tranquility, and magical atmosphere. Whether you’re seeking peace and mountain serenity or adrenaline and adventure, true mountain joy awaits you year-round at First Camp Beitostølen – Valdres.
