Mjøndalen between culture, nature and arena

Mjøndalen offers a variety of reasons to stay: Portåsen combines culture with trails and nature, Consto Arena offers a sporting focus, and Kafé Kraft serves food in a historic railway station building. Nearby Hagatjern adds fishing and a sandy beach for swimming to the local attractions. When looking for a holiday apartment, it helps to match these highlights with your own travel plans.

Portåsen: culture, trails and a nature playground

Portåsen is Herman Wildenvey’s childhood home and today serves as a cultural venue and smallholding. This combination gives the place several facets: alongside its cultural significance, it also has an open, accessible park area and a nature playground. Portåsen also has marked hiking trails in a beautiful, family-friendly setting. If you want to combine culture and activity in your day’s plans, you’ll find both in the same place.

Nature around Portåsen has a special feature too: at least 19 wild orchid species grow in the area. This refers to the areas around Portåsen and is an additional natural attraction alongside the trails and park area.

Consto Arena and planning your visit

Consto Arena was built in 2012 and has a capacity of 4,200. Its temporary capacity in 2019 was 3,350. Both figures give an idea of the stadium’s size, with the former temporary capacity clearly distinguished from the stated capacity. Arrangements may vary for events.

The arena is just a few minutes’ walk from public transport and Mjøndalen station. Visiting fans can buy physical tickets at the main entrance. Check the arrangements for the specific event before you travel. This makes it easier to include a stadium visit in your travel plans, considering ticket purchases and travel as related questions rather than separate ones.

A tradition of events and a café in the station

Mjøndalsdagene is one of Mjøndalen’s long-standing events. Dates and the programme may change, so check the details against your preferred travel dates.

Kafé Kraft serves food in an old, historic railway station building in the heart of Mjøndalen. It adds another dimension to your travel plans: rather than an arena or nature outing, the focus here is on stopping for a meal in a historic building. Check the opening hours before visiting.

Fishing and swimming at Hagatjern

Near Mjøndalen, Hagatjern offers opportunities to fish for trout, perch and bream. There is also a sandy beach for swimming. This adds two different waterside activities to the cultural and event destinations in town: a fishing trip or time at the beach. Hagatjern should be considered a nearby destination, rather than one of the attractions in Mjøndalen itself.

Choose the right focus for your stay

When looking for a holiday apartment in Mjøndalen, your travel plans can be the first filter: Portåsen brings together culture, marked trails and a nature playground; Consto Arena is worth considering for an event, while Kafé Kraft combines food with an old railway station building. If you’d also like to plan some fishing or swimming, consider nearby Hagatjern.
