Cross-country skiing

For the young and promising, who eagerly, though a bit unsteadily, venture out on their first ski trips; there are friendly trails in nice birch forests which provide shelter from the wind.

The more experienced skiers hungry for challenges may try mountain trails, where the horizon really broadens. Using every muscle in your body, feel the weather bite your cheek and chin, quite simply: Feel alive. And for all those that belong to the middle category: Enjoy kilometres and kilometres of splendid and varied ski trails. In this region, you do not have to queue up behind hundreds of other skiers.

On one side of the Gudbrandsdalen Valley you find the area Peer Gynts Rike. This area has 644 kilometres of trails, from Skei through Kvitfjell and Fagerhøi to Gålå, and then on to Fefor, before ending up in Espedalen. The terrain is varied, from 700 – 1,500 metres above sea level, and it passes cosy mountain lodges and hotels.

On the opposite side of the valley you find ski trails stretching from the national park of Rondane and south through the Kvam and Venabygd mountains all the way to the Lillehammer region. This area has 790 kilometres of trail. 

Alpine skiing, Telemark and snowboard

Gudbrandsdalen has alpine slopes that will suit all tastes. With 50 ski lifts totaling more than 100 slopes, you can choose whether you prefer to strap on slalom skis, Telemark skis or a snowboard.

There are slopes that are well-suited for families as well as Olympic level slopes and everything in between. Whatever level you are on, be sure to find your way out to enjoy the clear and crisp winter air.

Floodlighting for the slopes helps to prolong your day and snow making machines ensure great slopes prior to Christmas to the end of Easter. 

Do you find it difficult to choose between Gudbrandsdalen's many alpine facilities? With the Lillehammer Ski Pass, you do not have to. You can ski in all facilities at Gålå, Skeikampen, Kvitfjell, Hafjell and Sjusjøen.
