Ski the Peer Gynt Trail

Ski the Peer Gynt Trail, a unique ski tour in beautiful winter landscape with groomed trails, mountain views and varied terrain. It is located close to the Olympic City Lillehammer in some of Norway's best cross-country terrain. 

Experience the legendary Peer Gynt Ski Trail, in a winter wonderland that stretches from the enchanting Espedalen valley to the picturesque Skeikampen mountain resort. The trail is named after a local Norwegian hero, characterized into fiction by author Henrik Ibsen. 

As you glide along the trail you will be greeted by the stunning vistas of the Jotunheimen, Rondane and Dovrefjell mountain ranges, snow draped forests, and frozen lakes. The trail runs at about 700 - 1500 meters above sea level. The trail is meticulously groomed, offering smooth tracks, and you can choose to take detours for longer stages. Staying two nights in each mountain lodge means you have the freedom of longer or shorter days of skiing in between.

You stay in good hotels and lodges during the tour. Destinations along the trail include Espedalen, Fefor, Gålå and Skeikampen – all well-known ski resorts with long traditions in winter tourism and known for having some of the best cross-country skiing terrain in Norway. While you are out skiing, your luggage is transported to the next accommodation. You only have to bring a small backpack with extra clothes and food for the day. This is a self-guided tour. Although the trail is marked, you should be familiar with using maps in addition to the tour description.

Please note that that second departure (13 - 20 Feb) follows a slightly different route than our standard Peer Gynt trail itinerary. This departure also includes Kvitfjell, a well-known ski resort and a regular host of the Alpine World Cup.
