The Peer Gynt Trail passes through Peer Gynt’s Kingdom on the west side of the Gudbrandsdalen valley. Destinations along the trail include Espedalen, Fefor, Gålå, Lauvåsen and Skei - all well known ski resorts with long traditions in winter tourism and some of the best cross-country skiing terrain in Norway.
The trip starts at Espedalen, 80 km northwest of Lillehammer and ends up at Skeikampen, 40 km north of Lillehammer.
The Peer Gynt Trail passes through relatively level terrain, offering a magnificent view of the Jotunheimen and Rondane mountain ranges. There are short day trips (between 10 and 20 km each day), so you don’t have to be in the very best physical condition. The trail is prepared regularly.
