A 165 km lodge-to-lodge ski adventure through open mountain landscapes, remote plateaus and forest terrain, from Høvringen to Lillehammer.
Experience the Troll Trail, one of Norway's great long-distance cross-country ski adventures. This 9-day self-guided tour takes you from Høvringen, near Rondane National Park, south through the mountains of Ringebu to Lillehammer.
The route covers approximately 165 km, with daily stages of 20–35 km. You ski through open mountain terrain, quiet forests and wide plateaus, enjoying spectacular views and a true sense of Norway's winter wilderness.
A Demanding Mountain Ski Adventure
The Troll Trail is designed for fit and experienced cross-country skiers who are comfortable with long days on skis and changing winter conditions. Most of the route runs through open mountain terrain above the tree line, with a varied mix of gentle slopes, climbs and descents.
Although there are no particularly steep mountain climbs, the long distances and exposed sections make this a demanding tour. Some stretches are not groomed, and you must be confident navigating with a paper map and compass. Good mountain equipment and the ability to assess weather and snow conditions are essential.
Varied Accommodation and Luggage Transport
Overnight stays are in traditional mountain lodges and hotels, with one night in a Norwegian self-service mountain cabin. The different accommodation types add to the character of the journey and offer varied experiences of Norwegian mountain life.
Your luggage is transported between overnight stops, so you only need to carry what you need for the day's skiing.
A True Norwegian Mountain Ski Adventure
This is a self-guided tour without a guide, offering experienced skiers the freedom to explore the winter mountains independently. With the right fitness, skills and equipment, the Troll Trail rewards you with remote landscapes, peaceful surroundings and a memorable ski journey from Høvringen to Lillehammer.

The Troll Trail is a demanding ski tour for experienced cross-country skiers with a good level of fitness (over average). The tour is self-guided. We provide maps and tour descriptions. The trail goes through some quite remote areas. Close to most accommodations, the tracks are groomed daily. In other areas the trail is not maintained at all, or only once a week. The weather can be rough, with heavy snowfall and winds. Under such conditions, it is difficult to maintain the tracks, and you must follow markings and be able to use the maps and a compass in addition to the tour description.
