❄️ Both close to the city center and outside, you'll find many great hiking trails where you can stroll and enjoy the peace and quiet of the forest.
In our hiking guide, we have included the most popular hikes. On some of these, it may be advantageous to use snowshoes.
If you need anything for your hike, you can borrow from the equipment bank at Vinje Volunteer Center.

❄️ Vinje municipality is one of the few municipalities in the country that has its own trail network for recreational snowmobiling, and perhaps a snowmobile trip is just what you're looking for this winter vacation? You can find maps and licenses here. NB! See the warning about unsafe ice on Totak from Vinje municipality!

❄️ Treat yourself to a good lunch, a tempting piece of cake and a cup of coffee at Kakeringen, our local café.

❄️ If you want to make dinner easy, Vinje Pizza og grill and Vinjekroa are two cozy places to spend some time at.

Booking at: https://www.spegle.no/.

❄️ Visit the Vinje Center, which is an exciting and modern center for poetry and journalism. Well organized with activities for the whole family. In the museum shop you can find holiday reading material and enjoy some light refreshments.

❄️ Find peace in Vinje with accommodation! Hotel rooms in harmony with nature and lofts over 700 years old are some of the exclusive accommodation options we can offer.
At Groven Camping og Hyttegrend, you can get close to the traditions and building practices associated with the town. With buildings dating back hundreds of years, it's quite unique to spend time here.
Spegle Hyllandsfoss takes you on a magical journey, with vibrant wildlife right outside your bedroom. The hotel room is made with glass walls all around, giving you a very special feeling. Out on the old historic floating wall, you'll find a warm and comfortable sauna and a hole in the ice for a refreshing ice bath.
