This is the trip of a lifetime! We’re going where cross-country skiing was born – Norway!! If there ever was a trip you must do, this is the one. Tour members will fly to Oslo, Norway. Our first night is an overnight in Oslo. Saturday morning, we travel by special bus from Oslo to Jotunheimen National Park, where our ski touring actually begins. We will be skiing from mountain lodge to mountain lodge. These lodges are fully equipped with electricity, dining facilities serving huge meals, rooms with beds and blankets, saunas, and sometimes hot showers! You need only carry clothes and personal gear in your small pack, making the travel very light and enjoyable.
At 2 of the lodges, we stay multiple nights, giving you more time to explore the areas around each lodge. It’s not necessary to be an expert skier to join in the fun on this trip. The technical level is on par with intermediate-level skiing. As well, you should be in good enough physical shape to ski 12 miles on the longest ski day; most days are shorter than that, however. During lodge stays of more than 1 day, you’ll have the option to just relax in the lodge instead of skiing. Most of the trails are fairly gentle, winding through valleys with mountains rising on either side. Because these trails are well-marked with flags, and there are many Norwegians skiing during this time, we will not use professional guide services. If you are a cross-country skier, what are you waiting for? Join us!
