Hardangervidda, 2009

Since 2004, we at Nordic Challenge have been successfully running a wide variety of exciting and fun cross-country skiing holidays and courses in Norway. We also run team building courses for schools, businesses and other groups.

The majority of our cross-country skiing skills holidays and telemark skiing courses will continue to be based at Wadahl near Gålå, high in the mountains of Gudbrandsdalen, approximately 80 kms north of Lillehammer. This is also the venue for our Peer Gynt Experience holiday (hotel to hotel tour on tracks).

Building on the superb snow conditions of 2009, and the introduction of a very popular 'Norwegian Experience' at Lauvåsen, we are continuing to refine all our cross-country skills holidays at Wadahl together with our Peer Gynt Hotel to Hotel Tour.

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.

What’s new for 2010?

In 2010 we will be basing our new Mountain Ski Touring Skills course at Kvitåvatn, near Rjukan in the Telemark District and our new Hut to Hut Ski Touring Holiday at Haugastøl on the northern edge of the Hardangervidda.  We are also introducing a new Nordic Medley Holiday based on the Gaustablikk hotel, which is located close to Kvitåvatn.

We provide high quality ski instruction for skiers of every ability level.
