Nordic skiing in Norway

Nordic or cross-country skiing in Norway is always a very sure thing when it comes to snow reliability, quality of accommodation in even the remotest areas, and the sheer extent of suitable terrain for hut-to-hut style ski touring. As usual we are offering some new venues for our ski touring in Norway as well as some of the well-tried classic Norwegian tours and course locations.
