Cross-country skiing

There are about 80 kilometres of prepared tracks in easy mountain terrain at Vegglifjell, as well as a variety of more challenging tracks. These also connect to DNT’s (Norwegian Trekking Association) network of tracks and self-serviced cabins.

In the Blefjell/Fagerfjell area you will find around 100 kilometres of prepared cross-country tracks in winter.

In Nore og Uvdal, over 400 kilometres of cross-country tracks are prepared each year in the mountains as well as in the lower valley, offering a wide range of areas and levels of difficulty to choose from. Dagalifjell has the largest network of tracks, but also Åsbøseterdalen, Tunhovd and Imingjfell have excellent tracks.

Winter without skis

Skiing is not the only way to have fun. Langedrag Nature Park is open all year, and here the whole family can see native wild animals up close. For the thrill seekers out there, how about driving rally cars on ice or being part of an elk safari on snow mobiles? Dog sledding and ice fishing are also popular activities. Both Dagali Skisenter and Fagerfjell offer tobogganing.
