Snowshoeing in Kamben, Valdres, offers a peaceful and immersive journey into Norway’s pristine winter landscape. Set in the heart of Valdres, the charming Kamben mountain lodge is a true winter wonderland, surrounded by rolling hills and snow-blanketed forests that invite you to experience a range of winter activities. Snowshoeing allows you to explore serene landscapes, spot native wildlife, and take in breathtaking mountain vistas. The well-marked snowshoe trails around Kamben cater to all experience levels, offering a comfortable and scenic way to connect with nature.
We start our guided snowshoeing trips right at the lodge’s doorstep. In the middle of our snowshoeing week we will hike to the top of Skogshorn mountain on 1728 masl, where we have a brilliant view over the Valdres area.
For added relaxation, unwind with an afternoon sauna session, try cross-country skiing as a side activity, or simply cozy up by the fireplace with a warm drink and a good book. This is a fantastic way to embrace the magic of the Norwegian winter.
We make your journey seamless by helping you reaching Fagernes by bus from Oslo, and then further by shuttle to Kamben mountain lodge. Throughout the week, you’ll stay in a cozy mountain-lodge that is well known for great food and its hospitality.

Day to day
Your Guide
Isabelle Ehegötz
Born and raised in Central Hesse / Germany, Isabelle has been guiding in various countries since 2017 – from horseback riding tours in New Zealand and Iceland to hikes in Australia and the Eastern Alps of Europe as well as in Norway. For the past three years, she has been living in Norway, where hiking and cycling tours, among other activities, have been led by her.
For Isabelle, Norway is considered the ideal country to live out a passion for nature. The diverse landscapes, vastness, and tranquility of nature make each tour a special experience. A particular highlight for her is the “Allemannsretten” – the right to freely enjoy nature.
Her guiding skills were deepened through a Master’s degree in “Adventure and Experiential Education.” It inspires her not only to showcase the landscape but also to engage in discussions about the impact of nature experiences.
There is great excitement from Isabelle in showing you the beauty of Norway and creating unforgettable adventures together!
