Things to do in Trysil — winter and summer

Trysil is best known for skiing, but the mountain is alive all year. Here is what you can do in each season.

Winter

November – April

More than 70 runs spread across four sides of the mountain, from wide beginner pistes to steep off-piste. Norway's largest ski resort.

Separate, fenced zones for the youngest skiers with gentle lifts. Trysil is known as one of the Nordic region's most family-friendly resorts.

Over 100 km of prepared trails, from easy loops near the centre to longer mountain tours. Both classic and skate styles.

Group and private lessons for all levels, including adult beginners. Worth booking ahead in the February and Easter peaks.

June – October

One of northern Europe's largest mountain-bike areas, with flow trails and technical lines at every grade. Lifts carry you and your bike up.

Marked routes from gentle forest walks to the climb up Trysilfjellet, with views over the border country.

Nearby rivers and mountain lakes offer good fishing for trout and grayling. Fishing permits are sold locally.

An indoor water park gives families an alternative on rainy days — a reliable backup when the weather turns.

Keen on cycling? There are dedicated guides to mountain biking and cycling holidays in the Trysil area with more detailed trail descriptions.

Tip

Want to fit in as much as possible in a short stay? Stay steps from the slope — then you spend your days on the mountain, not in transit.
