Itinerary

Day 1 :

Your trip starts in Otta. Depending on your flight’s time of arrival and after picking up your rental vehicle, I suggest we meet at Café Pilarguri in Otta over coffee or tea to discuss the journey that awaits you, answer your questions and give you your final roadmap! Then you will head for the small mountain village of Høvringen.

NIGHT: HIGH MOUNTAIN HOTEL IN HØVRINGEN

INCLUDED MEALS : Full board

Day 2 :

Today, have a quiet breakfast at the hotel and then explore Rondane National Park on snowshoes or cross-country skis (you can rent the skis from the hotel). Høvringen has hundreds of miles of ski/snowshoe slopes/trails that are not too steep and are ideal for beginners or families. We will discuss together the different options of hiking.

You can’t get it wrong anyway. Any track you follow will take you through nature and beautiful sceneries.

NIGHT: HIGH MOUNTAIN HOTEL IN HØVRINGEN
ACTIVITY: Ski or snowshoe rental
INCLUDED MEALS: Full board

Day 3 :

Today you leave the small village of Høvringen to go to the valley of the river Sjoa where a small cabin awaits you. Before you get there, don’t hesitate to make a stop in “town” in Otta, for example, to do some shopping as you will need to prepare your own meals in the cabin. Settle down nicely, you have the day off.

NIGHT: CABIN in SJODALEN

INCLUDED MEALS: None

Day 4 :

A beautiful day is waiting for you today! You have an appointment with Jotunheimen Husky for a dog sledding trip in the heart of the Jotunheimen mountains. After a brief training and presentation of the dogs, you will take control of your own team of dogs and your own sled for 3 hours of pure Nordic wonders.

Day 5 :

Today, take your time to eat breakfast, then head to the bank of Sjoa River for a unique experience. Have you ever practiced ice-canyoning? No? Here’s your opportunity. This activity allows you to explore the frozen river and admire the different formations shaped by cold and frost. Bring comfortable warm clothes, sunglasses and sunscreen.

You will be accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide. Small groups guaranteed: less than 10 people.
