The Tusse Trail is where the youngest members of the family can get introduced to cross-country skiing-uphill,downhill and straight ahead- in an easy terrain. The cross-country arena at Hovden is an excellent starting point. Go from parking place to the end of the stadium.Turn right towards Royrvik-asen. Follow the outer trail along the Hartevatn lake. The complete round is approximately 3km, but there is no shame in turning back if the little ones get tired.

We have two main slopes of 1650 meters: Fossehenget on the west side and Tverrløypa on the east side. Several parallel trails and different descents provide a large selection in variations and degrees of difficulty. The area offers large areas suitable for freeriding and is a good starting point for many different summit hikes. Hornindal Ski Center is considered to be one of the region's most snow-safe ski centers. Combined with snow production, we offer a great ski season for our guests. We also have great conditions for cross-country skiing with a lighted trail of 3 km and a circular trail around Grendadalen of 5.5 km. During the season, we also prepare a cross-country trail to Honndalssætra which is 8.5 km each way.
