About the Trail Network and Terrain

Cross-country skiing at Gausta offers a unique and varied network of trails that spans from sheltered, wind-protected forest sections to open, magnificent mountain plateaus and barren alpine terrain. Here you will find short loop trails ideal for families and beginners, side by side with longer, challenging routes for those seeking mile after mile in true high-mountain terrain.

In addition, several of the trails are groomed with separate skating tracks for those who prefer freestyle over classic skiing.
