Winter adventures in Jotunheimen – Explore Snow, Elks and Silence
Escape into the wild, silent beauty of a Norwegian winter at Hindsæter Mountain Lodge – where snow-covered forests, frozen waterfalls, and peaceful mountain valleys create the perfect setting for your next adventure.
This all-inclusive winter package offers a rare chance to slow down and connect with nature. Follow safe, marked ski and snowshoe trails at your own pace, or let our experienced guides lead you to hidden gems – from frozen canyons and sparkling ice caves to quiet valleys where elks roam freely. In winter, your chances of spotting these majestic animals are high.
Combine winter outdoor activities with cozy accomodation and local food
Enjoy an introduction to ski technique with your hosts, explore on your own, or take part in guided activities like ice canyoning along frozen rivers, snowshoe tours under the stars, and even a torch-lit sled race. For animal lovers and thrill-seekers, dog sledding is available nearby – or simply watch the action and enjoy Norwegian waffles and hot drinks in a fairy-tale setting.
Back at the hotel, warm up by the fire, relax in the wellness area and enjoy the tasty local food that is served.
Your stay includes seven nights in an alpine suite or double room, all meals, ski and snowshoe rental, ski instruction, guided activities, and personal support from your hosts. Staying in winter in Hindsæter is more than a trip – it’s a peaceful, unforgettable winter experience far from the crowds.

Important Details / Equipment / Packing List
To fully enjoy your skiing adventure in the mountainous areas, it’s important to dress appropriately for the weather conditions and local temperatures. For a comfortable and enjoyable experience, we recommend wearing warm, waterproof clothing, and bringing sunscreen and sunglasses.
The winter season starts with short days with daylight, but then you will get a lot of clear starry sky, and if you are lucky even northern light. Bring a headlamp and ski in the dark! From around mid Febuary, you will get longer days.
When you book with us, we’ll provide you with a packing list to ensure you have all the necessary clothing and gear.
Difficulty
Medium
This is a trip easy to adjust to your skill level at cross-country skis. It is advisable that you have tried cross-country before but not required if you have very good fitness.
Ski / Snowshoeing Tracks
The tracks run through varied, rolling terrain, from spruce and birch forests up to the higher open plains with wonderful views. The forest tracks offer protection from windy and snowy weather while the tracks on the open spaces offer wide views on fine days. In general, the tracks are easy to intermediate with not too long and not too steep ascends and easy, fun downhill runs and flat parts in between.
