Cross-country skiing trails
Updated information about the cross-country trails in Aurdal is provided by Aurdal and Kruk Løypelag, which publishes its own trail reports on its website and Facebook .
New this year is tracking of trail machines and trail status shared via SPORET . There you will find updated and automated preparation status in real time as we are used to from the old service Skisporet, and you will find advance notices where we say a little about what has been prepared and is planned to be prepared.
On our own website we have collected practical information about cross-country skiing in the area, including links to relevant sources. We therefore recommend checking the page "Facts about cross-country skiing in Aurdal" for a good overview before you set off on your trip.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!
Greetings from all of us at AURDAL Valdres Alpine Center, Aurdal Mountain Park, Mountain Park Lodge, Danebu Kongsgaard and Aurdal and Kruk Trail Association.
