New winter activities at Nordseter
Guided snowshoeing, cross-country skiing courses and ski trips with SWIG at Nordseter
Lillehammer Fjellstue og Hytteutleie welcomes SWIG Lillehammer as a new partner. Now you can combine accommodation at Nordseter with guided winter activities close to the mountain lodge - whether you want to try cross-country skiing for the very first time or experience the mountains on snowshoes.
SWIG and Lillehammer Fjellstue collaborate on several guided winter experiences at Nordseter.
Experience the winter mountains – with a local guide
It should be easy to get out and have good experiences. SWIG offers organized tours and courses at Nordseter, as well as several options at Sjusjøen and in Lillehammer. You don't have to know the area before: A guide will show you the way and help you make the most of the winter day.
Single meeting point at Nordseter: SWIG's meeting point is planned at the bus stop and the large parking lot just above Lillehammer Fjellstue. Always check the exact meeting point in the booking confirmation from SWIG.

Have you never skied before? Then this is a great way to get to know the Norwegian cross-country skiing tradition. SWIG's instructors teach you basic classic skiing technique in a pleasant and informal environment. The course can also be useful if you have tried cross-country skiing before and want better balance and more control. Feel free to state your level to SWIG when booking.
- Duration: normally around 2–2.5 hours.
- Skis, ski boots and poles are included in the course price if you do not have your own equipment.
- You can also bring and use your own cross-country skiing equipment.
- The course is aimed at beginners; ask SWIG for the right offer if you want more advanced technique training.

A snowshoe hike at dusk or under the starry sky is something completely different from a day trip. With a headlamp and a guide who knows the area, you get to experience the winter landscape in a new light. The snow muffles the sounds, and the atmosphere in the winter forest can be very special.
- Duration: normally around 3–3.5 hours.
- Planned trips to Nordseter at different times throughout the winter.
- Dress warmly for a quiet activity outside in the cold.
- The final time and included equipment will be stated when booking.
