Itinerary
When it comes to cross-country skiing, the low-mountain village of Skåbu, Norway, is the best place you’ve never heard of. Wedged between three national parks, it offers extraordinary diversity in its well-maintained trail network, with easy tracks through sheltered forests and more demanding routes that climb higher into the open mountain plateaus. Explore them with expert guides, who craft a flexible itinerary based on the local conditions and group’s skill level. In the evening, return to the welcoming Skåbu Fjellhotell, enjoying the delights of its standout gourmet restaurant – just reward for a day on the skis.
Please note: Each departure has two different ski grades and two guides. Check the Dates & Prices tab to ensure you book the right trip for your skill level. For more on our ski grades, check the Essential Info tab.

Cross-Country Skiing in Skåbu
Snow shoeing in Skabu was a great experience due to the owners and staff of the hotel. Henrick was not only one of the owners, but he was our skiing guide. He quickly assessed each of our levels and adapted to make the experience a memoriable one for each of us. You knew from the start that safety was one of his primary concerns and he was able to help each of us get the most out of the experience. He and his wife and staff were great. From the evening experience that allowed us to understand more about the local culture and history (this took place each evening in the lounge each night before dinner) They also provide an evening of star gazing that was enhanced by the presentation first by a young man with a masters in theoretical physics. I learned a great deal about the stars and then he met us at the viewing site with a telescope set up. It was exceptional. One afternoon we took advantage of the sauna which l had growing up with neighbors. However, the icing on the cake was the exceptional food and the employees. I love getting to taste local cuisine and this was one of the best examples I have seen. They raise their own pigs and sheep and use the meat. One day we had lunch in a hut on the ski trail that was their own pork and lamb sausage heated over an open fire. The evening meals included moose soup, fresh caught trout, pork, lamb and great home made deserts and more. Each meal was paired with an exceptional wine as they have a sommelier. She was exceptional. Finally the Friday night meas was a five course dinner with a wine pairing. Did I forget to say that the resturant was just named one of Norways 10 best. I want to thank the staff for making it a great week. I highly recommend this trip and would consider doing it again.

It is several years since I took a trip with Exodus. I believe the holiday I chose this time was only the second departure, it was pretty good!
