CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING: KVITAVATN

Kvitavatn lies at nearly 1000m above the town of Rjukan, boasting superb views of Gausta (1883m), the highest mountain in southern Norway. To the north stretches the vast plateau of the Hardangervidda. There are endless skiing possibilities, with 120km of varied tracks through forests and open country, as well as a good selection of downhill runs. The off-track touring is excellent and takes us above the tree line, with a vast expanse of wilderness to explore and the summit of Ornenipa to be reached at around 1300m. The quality and variety of instruction makes this an ideal venue for beginners as well as intermediates. Advanced skiers fine-tuning their technique will enjoy the opportunity for higher level ski tours. Stretching sessions are offered after skiing each day and most evenings we arrange presentations covering topics including winter survival, ski waxing and safety in the mountains.
