Hafjell
Both in the Øyer mountain area and in the valley there are good opportunities for Cross-country skiing. Excellent floodlit trails are found both in the mountain area and in the valley. The area has about 130 km of touring trails, of which 90 km are double-track trails. By way of this trail network you can reach Sjusjøen, Nordseter and Lillehammer to the south and the Ringebufjellet and Rondane mountains to the north. On the western side of the valley the trails are connected with the trails of Peer Gynts Rike (Peer Gynt's Kingdom). The trail network is also connected with the Troll Trail from Høvringen to Sjusjøen.
The Troll Trail
This continuous, 160 km-long marked trail from Høvringen to Lillehammer runs across Venabygdsfjellet, and from here the distance to Lillehammer is 120 km. Along this trail there are a number of places to spend the night, and you can choose whether to stay at one of these accommodation sites and explore the local area on day trips, or to ski all the way from Høvringen to Lillehammer. Whichever alternative you choose, you will be able to enjoy unspoilt nature with exciting contrasts.
