The Troll Trail offers excellent skiing terrain in magnificent surroundings.

The Troll Trail is a continuous marked ski trail, which passes through miles of untouched nature from Høvringen and the Rondane National Park in the north, via the mountains of Ringebu to Lillehammer – the Olympic Town - in the south. The Troll Trail is a tour trail with a large degree of variation, ideally suited for those wanting either long or short trips.

Track and skiing:

The Troll Trail is normally marked from February 1th until after Easter. Daily stages are 17 to 38 km. The trip is best suited for well-trained skiers. On certain parts the trail is prepared daily, on others only when necessary (after heavy snowfall/heavy winds). We recommend good mountain skis/ mountain skis with half steel edges. Troll trail goes through a varied and relatively easy trerreng without steep mountains and peaks to climb, so the challenge is to keep on skiing for 7 days. There are opportunities for ski rental.
