Guided Snowshoe Tour in Oppdal Book
A guided snowshoe tour in Oppdal offers a safe and close experience of the Norwegian winter mountains, tailored to your experience and level of ambition. Snow-covered peaks and open plateaus, the call of ptarmigan outside the tent fabric, and silence beneath a starry sky.
Together with experienced and knowledgeable local guides, we organise tours in the mountain areas around Oppdal, including Dovrefjell, Knutshø and Forollhogna National Parks, as well as Trollheimen. These areas provide excellent opportunities for both snowshoeing and ski touring throughout the winter. Route, pace and content are adapted to conditions and participants’ wishes.
What can you expect from a guided snowshoe tour?
The tour can be combined with various winter activities such as summit hikes, ice fishing or traditional ptarmigan snare trapping. If you would like to experience musk oxen in winter, the tour can be arranged in areas where this can be done safely and respectfully. With a bit of luck, we may also spot Arctic fox or wild reindeer along the way.
Overnight camping in a tent is recommended for a complete winter mountain experience. If weather conditions suggest otherwise, or if greater comfort is desired, cabin accommodation can be arranged. For those seeking an extra special experience, and when conditions allow, spending the night in a snow cave can also be an option.
