Discover Vereide: Burial Site, Cross-Country Skiing and Trails

Burial site, ski trails and trail activities

Vereide combines a cultural and historical landmark with ideas for active days: a burial site lies on the vicarage grounds, cross-country skiing is available at Kleivane, and the climbing trail is at Nordfjord Stisenter in Vereide. These different highlights can help you plan your trip around the experiences that interest you most. There are also specific winter activities for children and young people to consider for families.

A protected burial site on the vicarage grounds

The burial site at Vereide Vicarage is in Gloppen Municipality and comprises about 200 registered grave monuments. It is automatically protected. Its scale makes the burial site as a whole a distinctive cultural attraction for travellers who are interested in places with historical significance as well as activities. The vicarage grounds are the specific point of interest in Vereide; this gives you a clearly identified destination to add to a trip focused on cultural history. This sets it apart from the sporting activities at Kleivane and Nordfjord Stisenter.

Cross-country skiing at Kleivane

Kleivane offers a choice of different ski trails. The 3 km trail is lit, and there is a stadium and ski play area right by the car park. In addition, around 10 km of prepared touring trails run through varied terrain in the forest and above the tree line. This lets you choose between a lit trail with the facilities mentioned and longer touring trails through different landscapes. The approximately 10 km refers to the touring trails; the lit trail is 3 km long.

When there is enough snow, Kleivane offers ski play and ski training for children and young people from Year 1 onwards. If these activities are important to your family, snow conditions should be part of your trip planning. Another winter highlight is the Kleivanerennet, held once each winter. As well as its ski trails, Kleivane therefore offers a recurring event that you can take into account when planning your dates.

Trail riding and cycling activities

The climbing trail at Nordfjord Stisenter in Vereide has a gradient of 5%. Near Nordfjord Stisenter, Nordfjord Aktiv offers full-suspension bike and e-bike hire, guided tours and introductory trail-riding courses. This gives you several ways to enjoy cycling: you can consider an introductory course, plan a guided tour or factor bike or e-bike hire into your plans. The activities mentioned are located in the destination’s surrounding area, though not all at the same place.

When choosing your holiday apartment, it helps to weigh up the interests behind your trip: Kleivane is the place for cross-country skiing, the climbing trail is at Nordfjord Stisenter, and the burial site is on the grounds of Vereide Vicarage. Consider which of these activities is most important to your stay, and choose your location accordingly. This way, you can compare the trip ideas by their actual focus rather than treating them as one combined programme.
