About

This cross country skiing loop is 23.2 km and fits experienced and trained cross country skiers. It leads through varying, undulating terrain with mountain birch forest and over the open mountain. The higher areas are exposed to wind. 

The starting point is Gamlestølen Fjellstue. From here, follow the cross country track towards Jomfruslettfjellet. After 2.8 km, at the track crossing towards Langevatnet, it is a short side trip to the rest shelter Skibua. Keep going towards the top of Jomfruslettfjellet (1139 mo.a.s.l.) and over the mountain plateau until you run down into the valley that parts the mountain massifs of Jomfruslettfjellet and Spåtind. At Klufteflata, turn left towards Lenningen and at Feplassen, cross the road Lenningsvegen and keep straight ahead for another km, before you turn left, pass the lake Ølsjølifjorden and turn left again towards Elveseter where you cross Lenningsvegen again. After 2.7 km, at Tjernset, turn left uphill past Svarteknatten until you reach the crossing towards Langevatnet again (the one close to Skibua). From here, return to Gamlestølen on the same track that you came.
Alternatively, you can choose to keep straight ahead at Tjernset and return to Gamlestølen via Glenna which is a little longer (25.8 km in total).  

Afterwards, treat yourself to a waffle with a cup of coffee at Gamlestølen. You deserve it.
