Jotunheimen 

"The land of giants" is a mountain and a national park with an area of approximately 3 500 square kilometers. You can ski for several days, going from cabin to cabin, or stay a day from one of the hotels, chalets or traditional inns. For true lovers of skiing, Jotunheimen is very popular in spring and summer.

This is a ski run entirely marked crossing miles of untouched nature between Høvringen and the Rondane National Park north to south and Lillehammer, through Ringebufjellet.
