Where to ski
Trysilfjellet Arena and Ole G-vegen
The cross-country stadium beside Radisson Blu Resort Trysil at the Tourist Centre, with 2 km, 2.7 km and 5 km loops up to 9 m wide, floodlights and a biathlon range. Flat, wide and groomed for both techniques, so it suits beginners, families and anyone training on skate skis.
Trysilfjellet mountain loop (trails 10, 3 and 4)
A loop of roughly 12 km around the mountain linking Høyfjellssenteret and Skihytta, with the short Lågfjellet to Høyfjellssenteret stretch (about 1 km) in easy terrain. Suits intermediate skiers staying in the cabin areas on the mountain.
Fageråsen - Svesætra - Slettås (trail 7)
A loop of about 20 km starting from the parking area at the Fageråsen cabin area, passing the Svesætra hut (open daily 10:00-15:00 from late January to Easter) and the Slettås network (17 km). A longer tour for fit skiers.
