Cross-country in the forests
Enjoy peaceful cross-country routes through forested landscapes. An easy way to stay active while soaking up the calm of winter.
Why it’s worth it
Winter calm with gentle movement
Cross-country skiing is a relaxed way to experience winter in Telemark: steady motion, quiet forests, and a feeling of space. It works well when you want to be outdoors without the speed and intensity of downhill skiing.
What you can do
Go short or go long
Choose a route length that matches your day. Some outings are perfect for a quick loop and warm drink after, while others can become a longer adventure with breaks along the way. Keep the pace comfortable and focus on enjoying the surroundings.
Good to know
Comfort matters in winter
Bring warm gloves and a windproof layer. If you’re new, keep the first outing short and easy to avoid fatigue. In colder weather, take brief breaks rather than long stops so you stay warm and comfortable.
