Located in the beautiful Norwegian landscape, Pæskatun is the perfect starting point for your skiing adventure.

Upon arrival at Pæskatun, you’ll be greeted by our friendly and professional guides. The first step is to ensure you are properly outfitted with high-quality ski equipment, including skis, poles, and boots. We understand the importance of comfort and safety, so rest assured, we’ve got you covered.

Before we hit the trails, you’ll receive a comprehensive safety briefing. Safety is our top priority, and we want to make sure everyone is aware of the basic safety protocols while skiing. Following the briefing, we’ll conduct a short introductory course on the essentials of cross-country skiing. This includes a demonstration on how to properly use your ski poles and skis, and basic techniques to get you started. Whether you are a beginner or need a quick refresher, our course is designed to boost your confidence and prepare you for the adventure ahead.

The Skiing Experience:

Once everyone is ready, we will head to a well-maintained ski track. This track is designed to be flat and easily navigable, making it suitable for all levels of skiers. The trail is approximately 1 km long, but don’t worry about it being too short—there’s the option to go several rounds, allowing you to enjoy as much skiing as you like. Our instructors will be with you every step of the way, offering personalized tips and tricks to help improve your technique and ensure you have a fun and rewarding experience.

Skiing can be tiring, so we’ve planned for breaks where you can rest and recharge. During these breaks, we’ll serve hot beverages to warm you up, as well as a selection of delicious snacks to keep your energy levels high.
