Cross-country Skiing: Kvitavatn

Day 1
Fly from Heathrow to Oslo with SAS; transfer by road to Kvitavatn (approx. 3½ hours).

Day 2 - 7
We prefer not to specify in advance where we will ski each day. This is to enhance the flexibility and adapt to weather and snow conditions and to some extent the ability of each group. When choosing routes, the leader's priority will be to take in a variety of scenery and to ensure that participants become better and more confident skiers as the week progresses.

Examples of skiing options:
There is an endless range of skiing possibilities with 80km 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 where there is a vast expanse of wilderness to explore - the summit of Ornenipa can be reached and the Heddersfjell moors can be explored, both at around 1300m. The quality of instruction makes this an ideal venue for beginners. For the intermediate and advanced skier your skiing will be fine-tuned and there is the opportunity for higher level ski tours. Stretching sessions are offered after skiing each day and every evening we arrange presentations covering topics such as winter survival, ski waxing and safety in the mountains.

Day 8
Return transfer to Oslo. Fly Oslo to Heathrow
