Fýri Mountain Challenge. 12th April

Let the fun begin!
First, choose your level of adventure—you’ve got two options.

Fýri Touring Group

12 km | 769 m elevation gain | 3-5 hours
Join us for a stress-free ski touring adventure! Our experienced leaders, lead the Fýri Touring Group on a scenic, relaxed route, making stops along the way for coffee breaks and photo opportunities. This route takes a gentler path and avoids the steep Nibbie climb, making it ideal for those who prefer a more leisurely pace. The Touring Group is perfect for beginners, young adventurers, or anyone bringing children or friends who are new to ski touring.

Fýri Mountain Challenge

15km | 1082m elevation gain | 1,5 – 5 hours
Take on a classic ski touring adventure!
The Fýri Mountain Challenge, one of Norway’s oldest ski touring events, is designed for those with some experience. The first 6 km includes a steep climb up to Nibbi and Skurufjell, with a descent that can get tricky in windy conditions. For those ready to embrace the challenge, this route offers some of the best ski touring in Hemsedal. There’s no rush to complete it—but if you’re aiming for the top spots, you’ll need lightweight gear, strong lungs, and power to spare.
