Skiing has been and still is popular. Sauland has a very good group of young cross country skiers. Hjartdal has cross-country tracks and jumping hills, not big. Neighbour kommunes like Tinn, Rauland and Kongsberg have ski resorts. This is quite popular.
Farmers have their own lakes in the mountains and they go fishing, but mostly for recreation.
Local kids may fish anywhere for free. Some farmers rent out lakes for fishing, but it's not a big business. Rein deer and moose hunting is common every fall. We have bluberries and cowberries, strawberries and wild raspberries. Cloudberries are found some years in the mountains.
