Description
Embark on an 8-day hiking adventure through Langsua National Park, Norway’s hidden gem and Jotunheimen’s little brother. Langsua offers flatter, more open terrain, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain ranges such as Jotunheimen, Dovre, and Rondane. As you hike through this idyllic region, you’ll encounter charming pastures filled with sheep, goats, and cows – it’s Norway’s largest grazing area! The park’s diverse landscapes feature woodlands, muddy swamps, and scenic ridgelines, all offering plenty of beauty without steep climbs.
Distances between cabins range from 10 to 16 km, making this tour perfect for those who prefer to take their time. It’s ideal for intermediate-level hikers and active families who enjoy exploring without the pressure of long, challenging days. Langsua’s welcoming landscape offers the perfect setting for a relaxed hiking holiday in Norway.
We make your journey seamless by helping you reach Langsua by train to Lillehammer, and then by bus to your starting point at Liomseter, where you’ll enjoy a hearty meal and leave any unnecessary luggage behind. Throughout the hike, you’ll stay in cozy, self-serviced cabins, where we’ve pre-booked your beds and ensured plenty of food supplies for your meals that you will cook yourself.

Inspired by DNT
Our Inspired by DNT hikes offer a different experience compared to our standard hiking packages, giving you the opportunity to explore like a Norwegian. Please take note of the following details for these tours:
- Luggage Transport: We provide luggage transport only from the starting point to the last destination of your hike. There is no daily luggage transport available as you are staying in self-serviced cabins and most of them are only accessible by feet.
- Self-Service Cabin: All cabins, except Liomseter, are self-serviced, meaning you will need to prepare your own meals using the food supplies available in the cabin’s storage.
- Bedlinen and Towels: Bedlinen and towels are not included along your hike (only included at Liomseter). You must bring a sleeping bag liner.
- Trail Markings: These may be limited at times, but you have access to our app containing the GPX-files what will help you finding your way. Some knowledge of how to use a map and compass can be an advantage.
