Important Details / Equipment / Packing List
To fully enjoy your winter holiday in Jotunheimen, 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.

Ski / Snowshoeing Tracks
The tracks run through varied, rolling terrain, from spruce and birch forests up to the higher open plains with wonderful views.
