Winter activities in Innherred

Ice fishing and cross-country skiing are popular winter activities in Innherred.

Ice fishing

Use Føllingstua Camping in Steinkjer as a base for this activity. The campsite is located on the shore of Lake Snåsavatnet, and Lake Leksdalsvatnet is also nearby. Another excellent spot for ice fishing is along the Hopplavassdraget river system at Åsen, in the Levanger municipality. Aspåsen Cabin and Boat Rental offers overnight accommodation and will help with your fishing needs.

Cross-country skiing

Steinkjer boasts excellent cross-country skiing terrain. At Byafjellet, which is closest to the city centre, you can ski to the ski hut (make sure you check the opening times first at the tourist information).

Overnight accommodation is available at Mokk Farm where you will also find nice terrain for cross-country skiing thanks partly to prepared trails leading into the mountains towards Lake Mokkavatnet and Lake Andorvatnet.

There are also nice areas for cross-country skiing in Verdal as you approach the Swedish border and near Levanger in the east. Frolfjellet is a popular outdoor recreation area in Levanger. The distance from Levanger to Skalstuggu Cabin is 20 kilometres.

There are also facilities for biathlon and ski jumping at Steinkjer, as well as in Sprova along road rv. 17.
