Enjoy a leisurely cross country ski trek through the winter alpine landscape and experience the thrill of gliding along in the pristine snow on skis.
They say that "Norwegians are born with skis on their feet", and this is your chance to feel like a Norwegian by participating in one of Norway’s most popular family winter sports. After being fitted with the proper ski equipment and learning a few basic skills and techniques from your experienced instructors, you will begin your trek along flat terrain, most of which is on prepped trails. As you gain confidence and find the right stride, you will feel a real sense of satisfaction and can create some of your own trails. Take in the beautiful winter scenery and enjoy some refreshments along the way.
Please note: Minimum height is 4'3". Minimum age is 6 years and children must be accompanied by an adult. Guests with back or neck problems are not allowed to participate. Not advisable for guests with mobility limitations. It is essential that you wear warm, layered clothing in order to fully enjoy and participate in this excursion.

Walking covers approximately 50 meters over dirt/gravel terrain covered by ice and snow and the cross country skiing covers up to 8 km, depending on the ability of the group, on a mostly level trail with some gradual slopes. Prior experience not required; beginners are welcome.
