Experience nature from a new and peaceful perspective – right from the water. At the scenic Bortelidtjønna and beautiful Beinsvatn, you can paddle at your own pace and enjoy the calm of the mountain landscape.
At the small lake Bortelidtjønna, you can rent one canoe or one of our two kayaks – ideal for a calm and relaxing paddle near the cabin area. For those wanting a longer trip or more open water, Beinsvatn offers three canoes available for use.
One canoe is suitable for 2 adults and 1 small child (up to approx. 10 years old).
When making a reservation, please select the number of canoes you would like to rent — not the number of persons.
Example: choose 1 for one canoe suitable for 2 adults.
Bortelid provide paddles and life jackets, so you'll have everything you need for a safe and enjoyable outing on the water.
Just a 90-minute drive from Kristiansand, Bortelid is a year-round destination in the heart of the Setesdal mountains. In winter, it's a snow-covered haven with one of Southern Norway’s largest ski resorts and 120 km of cross-country trails. Summer transforms the area into a mountain paradise, perfect for fishing, swimming, paddling, and mountain biking on thrilling trails just above the treeline.
