SKI TOURING
The area surrounding Vatnahalsen is perfect for ski touring and freeriding- All skiing (ascent) starts right out the door and the area is suitable for intermediates as well as for those new to randonee. The combination of trains and world-class freeriding makes a weekend at Vatnahalsen a unique skiing experience.
If necessary, the hotel provides guides to our guests. In addition to the safety perspective, the use of a guide will increase the chance of good skiing and safe, soft snow. The guide makes sure to adapt the activity to the group's skill level. Guide must be booked for minimum 2 days. Booking of a guide is on request, and it is reserved that there are available guides for the current days.
To hike through the mountains with a guide adds an extra element in terms of knowledge and competence that enhances the experience. It should be safe, fun and educational.
You need the following equipment:
– Alpine touring skis (randonee), telemark or split-board
– Skins for skis
– Backpack with provisions for a one-day hike
– Avalanche beacon, shovel and probe
