Wild Brown Trout! and frozen lakes...
Activities Winter: Depending on snow conditions you can cross country ski everywhere around the cabin, forging your own tracks in virgin snow. There is a small local ski center at Vegårshei (12 km/7miles away) and if there is not sufficient snow, there are inland mountain downhill slopes 60km/40miles away (about 1 hours drive) Note: these cabins are located in Southern Norway and at a lower altitude than the ski resorts further inland. Snow is likely but not guaranteed. If it doesn't snow, low temperatures will however make the landscape and icy lakes beautiful. In previous years snow has started in November and lasted until February. Fishing To go fishing in lake (even if you are not a keen angler) Vegår is one the most exciting things you can experience in our region. So… if you are a professional fly fisherman after the lake Vegår �wild Brownie� of up to 7 kilos or a five year old trying spinning for perch for the first time, there is something for you. The lake Vegår land owners association have worked hard in preparing the area for country sports lovers. They have mapped the whole area building boat launching ramps, jetties suitable for the handicapped, marked hiking trails and forest clearing to make the area suitable and accesable to all. You may fish with all normal fishing tackle including the unusual Norwegian �oter�… net fishing is only allowed with special permission. You will find Wild Brown Trout, Perch and eels in Lake Vegår. You will need a permit to fish 50 NOK per day 100 NOK per net (Max 3 nets)
