Trysil: Ski Resorts, Cross-Country Skiing and Nature
Accommodation in Trysil Municipality
Trysil combines four interconnected ski areas with cross-country skiing opportunities and activities at Trysilfjellet. There are also cultural sites, river activities and trails through forest and mountain landscapes. Offerings vary by location and season.
Ski Areas, Slopes and Cross-Country Skiing
SkiStar Trysil has 71 groomed slopes and 41 modern lifts. These figures give an indication of the scale of the offering; as operational information may change, check the latest details with the operator before travelling. The Ski Bus to and from SkiStar Trysil is free to use with a valid ski pass. If you plan to use it, check the current transport terms in advance.
Cross-country skiing is also a major attraction: a total of 500 kilometres of trails are groomed in Trysil, many of them suitable for skating. Grooming and access depend on the winter season. At Trysilfjellet, you can choose from short and long cross-country loops, giving you a choice of different route lengths when planning your trip.
Cycling and Trails at Trysilfjellet
For mountain biking, Trysil offers more than 70 kilometres of adapted trails through forest and mountain landscapes. Trysil Bike Park offers 20 kilometres of lift-served mountain biking, with flow, technical and black trails. Trail networks may change; check the latest information before planning your trip.
Fjellrunden is a 13-kilometre cycling and hiking trail that runs around the entire Trysilfjellet. The mountain therefore offers both a clearly defined circular route and various cross-country skiing loops in winter. The fire watch hut is another landmark: a cairn marks the highest point on Trysilfjellet, at 1,132 metres above sea level; the hut is just a short walk away. It can be reached from both the south and north sides of the mountain. Access conditions depend on the season and weather.
History and Cultural Sites
Kongeparken in Nybergsund is Trysil Municipality’s 1,000-year site. It presents Trysil’s wartime history, associated with dramatic events and the bombing of Nybergsund during the Second World War. The site offers a historical focus distinct from the outdoor activities at Trysilfjellet.
In Innbygda, the centre of Trysil, you can take the cultural walk independently or with a guide. At Trysil Vicarage, the programme includes guided tours and ghost walks, as well as concerts and poetry evenings; individual events may vary. In the old Bjønnstua in Innbygda, the house is open to visitors in summer, with waffles served. This visit is specifically limited to the summer season.
River Activities and Nature Experiences
A canoe trip on the Trysilelva covers approximately four kilometres between Trysil Hyttegrend and Tjønna in Nybergsund. The starting point, Trysil Hyttegrend & Camping, is two kilometres south of the centre of Trysil. The trip is suitable for families with children and for friends. As booking and operating arrangements may change, check the latest information about the trip in advance.
Family rafting is offered on the southern stretch of the Trysilelva, in calmer grade 1 to 2 waters; this activity is seasonal.
The Trysil Horse Center’s horseback rides, available to book seasonally, take you through the Trysil wilderness to beautiful views, old forests, open landscapes and hidden cloudberry bogs. The rides also pass a bear cave; moose may be spotted along the way, but sightings are not guaranteed. If you are interested in fishing, you can use a fishing licence that is valid for almost all lakes and watercourses in Trysil Municipality, as well as more than 120 rivers and lakes in the Trysil and Ljøra river systems. As rules and areas of validity may change, check them before fishing.
