Hiking in Norway: The eye-catching region of Valdres extends from the lush and water rich valleys in the south, to Jotunheimen’s impressive mountain range in the north. The region is known for its various outdoor activities throughout the year; such as hiking, cycling and fishing in the summer and cross-country and downhill skiing in the winter. 

Because of the stable climate, you are normally guaranteed snow from November until May. More than 1,500 kilometres of prepared cross-country ski trails await the cross-country enthusiast. Those who are more interested in the thrill of downhill skiing can challenge themselves in the alpine centers or terrain parks. Other popular winter activities are husky  safaries, ice fishing, kiting and snow rafting.
