A number of excellent roundtrips enable skiers to enjoy the mountains (above the tree-line) as well as a varied forest terrain.
The network of cross-country ski trails covers both the eastern and the western side of Kvitfjell.
As part of the World of Peer Gynt, Kvitfjell can offer over 1,000 km of machine-groomed ski trails, and the area borders Skeikampen to the south and Gålå to the west.
Birkebeineren Ski Stadium is a natural starting point for cross-country ski trips in the Lillehammer area. Access is easy, either by bus or car (parking fee). The stadium is a 700-metre walk/ski-trip from the bus stop (road or ski trail). It is also possible to ski from Lillehammer town centre, snow conditions permitted.
Way-marking in the region is good, with maps of the cross-country maps at all major junctions. However, it is important to pay attention to where you are and to plan ahead as there are numerous trails to choose between. Below are some recommended trips with Birkebeineren Ski Stadium as starting point.
