– and perhaps test your own limits!  
 
The weather of Ryfylke is changeable, and so the seasons open for many activities. Winter can be green as well as white. While the snow lies metre-thick in the mountains and hills, closing roads across the mountain passes, spring may already have arrived on the shores of the fjord.
Svandalen ski centre has a long season. The lush blossoming of fruit trees at the end of May might tempt you to return to sample the fruit when it’s harvested in the autumn. Summers are usually warm, but can have intermittent cool and wet spells, so remember warm clothes if you’re out walking the hills. Young and old will find it rewarding to explore the landscape of Ryfylke. The Ryfylke Guide and Tourist Information provide many useful details for your holiday.

Suldalslågen is a salmon river that has a colourful tradition and history. You can fish for trout as well. But if you’re an angler, there are many great lakes and streams throughout Ryfylke.
Along the fjords and on the islands, there are a number of good guest harbours. They’re all listed in the Ryfylke Guide. Our region offers many and varied trails for walkers. With good shoes and a desire to explore, you will never get bored. With just a bit more in your rucksack, you can walk from mountain lodge to mountain lodge for days or weeks.
Viewing the map, you will notice many fjord arms, one next to the other. Of course the best way to explore the fjords is by boat – and do take at least one boat tour. The Lysefjord is an excellent choice!
Please see sightseeingprogram for Rødne Fjord Cruise, Tide and schedule for the Combi Ferry to the Lysefjord.
