Mountain hiking and walks
Hafjell Mountains (Øyerfjellet) offers excellent touring opportunities with a wide range of marked trails. Take the gondola at Hafjell to the top for the perfect starting point for a walk in the mountains or a bicycle trip.
There are also several marked trails in the forest down to the river Lågen.
In our apartments at Alpin Apartments Solsiden or Alpin Apartments Sørlia, you will be living right next to the gondola at Hafjell and will be able to enjoy a magnificent view of the valley!
A trip with the gondola is an excellent way to experience nature first-hand, and the view is amazing! The trip is suitable for the entire family.
Angling
The Gudbrandsdalslågen river is one of Norway's best river for angling. With more thank 50 lakes and 100 kilometres of rivers and streams in the mountains in Lillehammer area to choose from, you can catch everything from perch, grayling, pike, powan and locale Mjøs trout.
Gudbrandsdalslågen is 300 kilometres long and is divided into nine zones. "Lågen" as it is called for short, is a wide river with all types of environment, from slow-flowing sections to vigorous rapids, but it is the slow-flowing stretches with flat silt and gravel bottom conditions which dominate.
Lågen generally has two flood periods each year. The first comes in May but does not discolour the water to the same extent as the more powerful flood which normally occurs in July, as a result of the snow melting in the high mountains. This flood contains silt from the glaciers of the Jotunheimen mountains, whose fine clay particles suspended in the water reflect light, giving rise to a chareacteristic green colour.
