Norwegian Winter Adventure

The opportunity to do some genuine winter activities is what you’re going to get on an adventure trip to Norway. Forget putting your feet up because it would be criminal not to take advantage of the ice-climbing, bobsled runs, snowmobiling, snowshoe treks and downhill skiing.

Exodus who offer this trip say:

“The small ski station of Kvitfjell has the perfect combination of a few quality ski runs and extensive back-country terrain. Almost deserted during the week, but with lively weekends, we think this is the number one choice for a unique combination of winter sports. We include a series of varied guided activities, mixed with free time for continuing with these alone, plus a 3-day ski pass and ski rental package that allows you to alternate between any type of equipment during the week. To finish this exciting week we spend the last day at the Olympic Park in Hunderfossen, home to Norway’s only bobsleigh run.”

Your itinery could include:

Day 1 Start Kvitfjell.
Day 2 Snowshoeing around the mountain area behind Kvitfjell.
Day 3 Morning of cross-country ski instruction, afternoon guided ski tour.
Day 4 Morning of alpine ski instruction (group split into beginners and intermediates), afternoon of ski guiding on the pistes.
Day 5 Free day for relaxation, cross-country or downhill.
Day 6 Morning learning the basics of ice-climbing. Free afternoon.
Day 7 At Hunderfossen Olympic area; bob-rafting and snowmobiling are included, taxi-bob (Olympic bobsled) and skeleton are optional.
Day 8 End Kvitfjell.
