Discover the secrets of Gaustatoppen

Gaustabanen isn’t just a train ride, it’s a journey through history and into adventure.

It’s the start of something unforgettable, especially if off-piste skiing is your passion!

Freeride and off-piste skiing in Telemark

For freeriders, Gaustatoppen is a dream destination. The legendary Gaustaløypa, a 1.6 km off-piste trail with a story of its own, is a must-ride for freeriders. Thanks to the Gaustabanen, this powder playground is right at your boots. Catch the freshest snow, untouched terrain, and views you’ll never forget.

Lifts run daily from 10.00 to 16.00 hrs through January, and until 16.30 hrs from February onwards.

For children, the Barnas Afterski offers games and music, a fun way to end their day!
