Description: Aalsheia skisenter was established over 30 years ago. It was reborn as Ålsheia Alpint under new ownership in late 2009. Since 2008 it has been possible to ski from Ålsheia to Tjørhomfjellet and back again using a single skipass making one of the largest skiing centres in Norway, with a 4 seat express chairlift and 9 drag lifts. There is also a park area, and floodlit skiing 3 evenings a week.
