Are you keen to discover the adventure and freedom of backcountry skiing? The technique is comparable with cross country skiing, but you don’t need to stay on just groomed trails. These slightly wider skis offer more stability than cross country skis, have steel edges and skins can be attached for extra grip when going up- or downhill. It’s not very technical and previous experience with skiing is not even necessary.
Or what about randonnee/tour skiing around Rondane National Park. It’s rounded mountain tops are quite easy to skin up and simply made for skiing down. The terrain is ideal for less experienced off-piste skiers too and the scenary just breathtaking! Unfortunately we don’t offer rental of randonnee equipment yet, so you will need to bring your own. But we are glad to advise on possible routes depending on weather and snow conditions.
