Introducing Trysil

Surrounded by forested hillsides close to the Swedish border, and overlooked by Norway’s largest collection of ski slopes, little Trysil is well worth a detour with year-round activities taking you off into the wilderness.

Although Trysil lives and breathes winter skiing, for the rest of the year you can do just about anything to keep active, from canoeing to canyoning or the more sedate pastime of fishing. Perhaps the most rewarding activity in summer is cycling with at least six cycle routes from 6km to 38km; route maps are available from the tourist office, while bike hire is available from Trysil Hyttegrend . For horse-riding, contact Trysil-stallen (62 45 10 55; www.trysil-stallen.no; half-/full-day Nkr450/700).

Trysil Tourist Office (62 45 10 00; www.trysil.com; Storvegen 3; 9am-6pm Mon-Fri, 10am-2pm Sat & Sun 25 Jun-12 Aug, shorter hrs rest-of-year), just off the northern end of the main street, has loads of useful information.
