Cross-country skiing at Nordseter – a continuous trail network
From Nordseter you have access to a large trail network with connections to Sjusjøen, Pellestova, Øyerfjellet and Lillehammer. Many of the main trails have classic tracks on either side of a wide skating track, when the snow conditions allow such preparation.
Here you will find both quiet trails in the mountain forest and more open, weather-exposed mountain rounds. On days with strong winds, the forest trails can be a good alternative to trips over the bare mountains.
Where and when the trails are groomed depends on the amount of snow, weather and conditions throughout the season. Therefore, check the updated trail status before you set out.
