Itinerary

CXR - CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING AT RONDABLIKK
Day 1
Fly from Heathrow to Oslo Gardermoen. Transfer by road to Rondablikk (approx. 4 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 full variety of scenery and to ensure that participants become better and more confident skiers as the week progresses. The possibilities include: Around Lake Furusjøen. Just over a kilometre from our hotel, the frozen lake offers good flat trails for beginners. On its southern shore are many attractive log cabins, mostly used by Norwegian families. The other shores are wilder, with fewer cabins. We are likely to see other cross-country skiers on the lake itself or on the 'løype' or track that circles it. The valleys to the east. A couple of kilometres east of our hotel starts a long and wide valley that divides the Rondane massif from a smaller range topped by the peak Gråhøa (1431 m.) In the middle of the valley rises the mountain Flakkshøa, a long, narrow twin-peaked wedge of rock that reaches almost 1100 m. A tour in this area may be possible later in the week, making our own tracks through the snow we will glide in and out of forests and through some very scenic countryside. Part of our trail follows the Peer Gynt Path, named after the character in Ibsen's play - who was based on a real and notoriously boastful hunter from the Rondane area. The Kringsaeter fells. From the north-western shore of Lake Furusjøen the ground rises steadily to about 1150 m. Only advanced skiers will reach these more distant mountain trails with unbeatable views of the high tops of the Rondane and Jotunheim ranges. The Tjørnsaeter fells. These hills rise to the south-east of Rondablikk and their summits reach about 1300 m. A good ski-trail follows their western flank, sometimes staying among trees, sometimes out on the open fell. There is one free day, (normally taken on Day 5 of the holiday). Try dogsledding with local Musher Kurt Stolpestad (see extra expenses for prices). Alternatively you can use either the snowshoes or the cross-country skis at the hotel. Any excursions using these will be unguided, and clients should take careful advice on routes and possible weather conditions.
Day 8
Transfer to Oslo. Fly from Oslo to Heathrow.
