Jotunheimen cross-country trail stretches through gentle forest areas and rough mountain terrain, from the area north of Lemonsjøen, westwards to Gjende and the Jotunheimen National Park. 

The tracks are always well prepared by machine or snowmobile and marked to ensure safety at all times.
If you are lucky, you can experience both reindeer and moose crossing the ski tracks. Take your time to enjoy the enchanting countryside and listen to the silence. 

Most nights, you stay in traditional family-run mountain lodges. There you have plenty of time to explore the surroundings and enjoy the good mountain life. We also promise you some extraordinary food experiences. With access to Norwegian wild gems like reindeer, moose, deer, and trout, an authentic culinary adventure is waiting for you.
Along the way, you will also spend two nights in a cabin at Sjodalen Hyttetun. Here you can sign up for dog sledding on Thursday.
