A brief overview of what we do

Clients cross-country skiing at Rjukan, Norway

Telemark skiing in Norway

For the last seven years we have been running a wide variety of exciting and fun cross-country skiing holidays and courses with an emphasis on top-quality instruction. We also run team building courses for schools, businesses and other groups.

Our Cross-Country (track) Skiing Skills Holidays and Telemark Skiing Courses are all based based on the Wadahl Hotel, Gålå, high in the mountains of Gudbrandsdalen, approximately 80 kms north of Lillehammer. Whilst boasting some of the best cross-country skiing in Norway, the added attractions of its own alpine slopes, ski shooting facility (biathlon), race training, dog sledding and a nerve-tingling toboggan run, are all helping to turn Gålå into an incredibly popular destination for a wide cross-section of skiers of all ages and nationalities. This high plateau is also the venue for our Peer Gynt Experience.

Our Schools' Easter Half-term Courses will continue to be delivered in Sjusjoen, Lillehammer with its superb Olympic ski tracks and facilities, while we will continue to run Corporate Team Building Courses at Wadahl.

Something different for 2011

In 2011 we will also be basing our Medley Taster Holiday at Wadahl. This gives our clients an opportunity to combine track skiing (classic and skating) with a day of telemarking and a further day’s introduction to back-country skiing, whilst also being able to benefit from Gålå’s other attractions. Also different for 2011, we will be basing our Mountain Ski Touring Skills Course at Ruten in the beautiful region of Espedalen.

We provide high quality ski instruction for skiers of every ability level, delivered by BASI qualified instructors.
