Private snowshoe hike for families/ groups

Snowshoeing is fun, and it is for everyone who likes to be outside. No previous experience needed.

We take you out snowshoeing through magic forests and open landscape.

Meeting point and start is Vestlia Resort (reception) where you will get your snowshoes and headlight (for evening trips).

Arrive a little earlier and have a look at Norwegian art and furniture in the lobby area.

From Vestlia Resort we snowshoe through the nearby forest and towards the lake "Ustedalsfjorden".

The trip runs mainly on existing snowshoe trails and is mostly flat. Your fitness-level should allow for a 1-1,5h of outdoor activity.

Practical information

What to wear?

The choice of FOOTWEAR is very important. Snowshoe bindings do not protect your feet from getting cold and wet.

Footwear should be warm and comfortable to walk in. Roomy hiking boots and warm (woollen) socks are the best choice. No trainers, moonboots or ski boots. Gaiters are very useful, so bring them if you have some.

Dress warm, but not too warm. Dress for activity and bring an extra layer to add/remove accordingly. Windproof shell layers are a must. We recommend a hooded jacket, a woolly hat, a neck/ scarf and mittens. If it is snowing heavily goggles are nice to have. From February onward bring sunglasses.
