Choose between the child-friendly route or get wet in the more powerful rapids.

The Trysil river is also a top spot for fly fishing if you want to relax in peaceful nature while waiting for the fish to bite.

If you prefer to stay dry, test your balance at the climbing park Høyt og Lavt …

… or go on one of the many family-friendly hikes in Trysil.

The 8.4-kilometre-long round trip to Skagsvola is spectacular and a bit strenuous, but still suitable for children that are experienced hikers.

Another popular hiking destination is the Brannvakthytta cabin at the top of Trysilfjellet mountain.

When it’s time to refuel, head to one of the many eateries in Trysil and indulge in everything from pizza and Asian bowls to local cuisine.
