Sjodalen Hyttetun og Camping

Fairytale forest adventure

next to Jotunheimen National Park

A romantic getaway

Jam-packed with winter activities next to
Jotunheimen National Park


Explore a magical snow-covered fairy tale forest next to Jotunheimen
National Park. Glide through a snow-draped landscape and listen to
the rhythm of paws against snow, and to the sound of energetic dogs
panting. Get an introduction to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing,
and hike through a snow-clad forest on snowshoes and explore mystical
forest paths.
This includes an instruction to cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing, as well as a guided snowshoe hike on forest trails. Explore
the vast network of cross country tracks on your own and experience
the beautiful starry sky at night, far away from any light pollution.
Have fun exploring the Saga forest trails surrounding the campsite,
or simply enjoy and have fun in the snow!
