Discover the Magic of Snowshoeing in Lillehammer!
A thick blanket of snow covers the trees in their winter sleep as you find your way through them. Above, the stars are sparkling and around you the snow reflects the light of your headlamp.

Under the night sky and surrounded by snow-covered trees, we will walk at an easy pace through the rolling mountains around Lillehammer & Hafjell.
