Wow I loved cross country skiing! It was my first time and we got some lessons from our guides and then got to go around the park and onto the lake. Amazing time.

We had a great time cross-country skiing! The instructors were highly experienced, friendly, attentive, and well organized. Norway’s national sport can be physically challenging, but if that’s your thing you won’t be disappointed. A good sense of balance is helpful. The park is beautiful, the equipment is in great shape, and you just can’t beat skiing when it comes to having a truly authentic Norwegian experience.
