A four-night trip to learn cross-country skiing in the Norwegian mountains. No skiing experience needed, though it's an active weekend. Expert instructors, groomed tracks straight from the hotel door, and yoga in the evenings for legs that will need it.
The hotel sits at 1,200m on Venabygdsfjellet, on the edge of Rondane National Park. Gentle gradients, reliable snow from December to April, and 140km of tracks cut fresh each morning. It's a long way south of the Arctic Circle so the aurora is a bonus rather than the point, but on a clear night there's nothing in the sky but stars.

What you'll do

• Three days of cross-country skiing with daily lessons and guiding
• Three evening yoga sessions
• A horse-drawn sleigh ride through the forest, with glögg round a fire
• An ice dip and outdoor sauna, if you fancy it

Who you'll be with
A small group of women, plus your Gutsy Girls host. Around 90% of our guests book on their own, so if you're coming solo you'll be in the majority, not the exception.

What's included
Four nights at a family-run mountain hotel with tracks from the front door, all meals including three-course Norwegian dinners, three days of guided skiing with instruction, ski and boot hire, three yoga sessions, the sleigh ride, sauna access and the group transfer from Ringebu station. Flights, train tickets (about £30 each way) and drinks aren't included.

A full week learning cross-country skiing in the Norwegian mountains, with five days on skis, a day on snowshoes and a husky team of your own to drive. No skiing experience needed, though it's an active week.
Five days is enough to stop thinking about technique and start covering ground. The hotel sits at 1,200m on Venabygdsfjellet on the edge of Rondane National Park, with 140km of tracks cut fresh each morning starting at the front door.

What you'll do

• Five days of cross-country skiing with daily lessons and guiding
• A day snowshoeing out to a frozen waterfall
• Dog sledding, driving your own husky team
• Five evening yoga sessions
• A horse-drawn sleigh ride, plus sauna and an ice dip

Who you'll be with
A small group of women, eight at most, plus your Gutsy Girls host. Around 90% of our guests book on their own, so if you're coming solo you'll be in the majority, not the exception.
