The municipality Sauda has about 5000 inhabitants and covers an area of 514 km². It is known primarily for its industry and hydroelectric facilities, which power the region. The town of Sauda is a centre for commerce, education and various services for inner Ryfylke.

In Sauda you are never far from beautiful scenery and outdoor adventure. Here you can enjoy a cup of coffee in town, while looking up at snow-clad peaks. During every season of the year the area offers a wealth of tempting activities and attractions. Grab your fishing pole and head for one of the many nearby lakes or rivers on a summer day, or strap on your skis on a sparkly winter day. Sauda has something for everyone!

Guests have a choice of varied accommodation, ranging from simple camping or a cabin by the fjord or in the mountains, to a comfortable hotel room.

In the winter, you can take “the ski boat” from this quay – a combined journey by express boat and bus that takes you straight to the ski centre and snowy slopes. All year, of course, you can head to the scenic destinations of your choice in magnificent Ryfylke!
