Snowshoeing in the Gausta Area
By Vidda Explorer AS
There are many ways to enjoy the nature around Gausta, and one of the best is exploring the mountain landscape on snowshoes. We’ll trek across the frozen lake Kvitåvatn and head slightly up the mountainside to find a scenic viewpoint where we can enjoy refreshments and a cozy campfire.
This is a fantastic circular snowshoe hike led by a local nature guide and is suitable for all skill levels. The tour is estimated to take 2–3 hours, covering approximately 3 kilometers with an ascent of about 100 meters. To ensure a personal experience, group sizes are limited to a maximum of 8 participants.
