Choose from high-quality, well-prepared tracks or do as the Norwegians themselves and go for a tour on the vast mountain.
Good skis and a tight grip on your ski poles is all your need to start out. Getting yourself out onto the the cross-country trail is great for both body and soul. In the area around Lake Kvitåvatn you will find softly undulating tracks in calm and protected woodland – of which 6 km are lit in the evening.
In total, the Gausta area offers 85 km of high-quality, well-prepared ski trails. There are 2 km tracks for beginners and even a heavy-going high mountain trip that is 23 km around Heddersfjell, for the more experienced skier.
During the winter season the tracks are prepared every day to make sure that you can always enjoy the best conditions during your skiing practise. The tracks are open for all visitors to Gausta and Gausta skisenter and can be used free of charge.
