The ski tracks at Hovden stretches over 170 km, covering both forest and mountain terrain. The trails are regularly groomed, often daily, as long as weather and snow conditions permit.

There is a wide selection of alpine skis, snowboards, telemark skis, randonnée skis, and cross-country skis, as well as snowshoes and sleds. The ski rental is located in the base area of Hovden Alpine Center.
