Discover Dagali

When looking for a hotel in Dagali, it helps to first consider your travel interests: Would you like to explore the history of the mountain village, plan for winter sports or take seasonal activities into account? The museum, church, ski centre and activities on the Numedalslågen offer different points of reference. Opening times for individual activities may depend on the season and conditions, so base specific plans on the latest information.

The Museum and Church in Dagali

The Dagali Museum is located in the heart of the mountain village and displays buildings and objects from Dagali, Skurdalen, Tunhovd and Uvdal. Its layout is reminiscent of an old farmstead and includes various buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. The museum therefore offers both exhibits and a historic setting with its different buildings. Every summer, recognised artists exhibit their work in the museum’s Kjønås storehouse. If you plan to visit this exhibition, check the latest details before your trip.

Dagali Church also offers a tangible connection to the past: it was completed and consecrated on 4 August 1850. The church is made of wood and can accommodate around 180 people. It is the second-oldest church in Hol. When choosing between the cultural attractions, you can distinguish between the museum, which displays buildings and objects from several places, and the church, whose details concern its construction, approximate capacity and history.

Winter Activities and Cross-Country Skiing

At Dagali Fjellpark, the ski area has 5.2 kilometres of ski runs. A 1,150-metre T-bar lift takes visitors to the top station, where they can choose from five downhill runs. The ski centre also has a groomed 1.85-kilometre toboggan run with a lift. The children’s area is free for everyone, including adults teaching their children. This means you can choose between different winter activities at Fjellpark: the ski runs, downhill runs from the top station and the toboggan run each have their own stated distances. Seasonal operations depend on snow conditions, so check the latest operating information before making plans.

There is another option for cross-country skiing in the area around Dagali: a 160-kilometre network of cross-country trails. This trail network in the surrounding area is distinct from the ski runs and toboggan run at Dagali Fjellpark. When choosing where to stay, you can consider whether to focus on the ski centre’s facilities or also plan to go cross-country skiing nearby.

Rafting and Seasonal Activities

Dagali Opplevelser offers rafting on the Numedalslågen in Dagali. In summer, its seasonal activities also include go-karting, paintball and autoslalom; in winter, there are snowmobile rides and rides on an ice track. The time of year therefore helps you choose between the different options, from rafting and other summer activities to winter driving experiences. Seasonal programmes may change. Before making specific plans, check the latest activity details and, for rafting, the river conditions as well.

Plan Your Journey and Dates

Route 40 between Numedal and Geilo runs through Dagali. Another route is relevant for cycling: from Tunhovd, a paved, low-traffic cycling route continues to Dagali along road 2806. Check road and route conditions before setting out; seasonal access to the cycling route should also be taken into account. This lets you plan your journey separately from your choice of activities.

One date to consider for a visit is Museum Day during Dagali Days in mid-July. It has become a tradition, with an outdoor service, refreshments, open houses and various activities. If you would like to plan your trip around this occasion, check the latest event dates. Together with the museum’s seasonal exhibitions and activities that vary throughout the year, this event can help you narrow down your preferred travel dates.
