Off-piste in Trysil

Trysil is best known for wide slopes, family-friendly skiing and a large, well-groomed ski area. But when conditions are right, there are also great opportunities for off-piste skiing in Trysil. Remember that all skiing outside groomed slopes involves risk, and that weather, snow and terrain must always be assessed carefully.

Here you can explore forest areas, open mountain terrain and natural terrain outside the groomed slopes. The experience varies with the weather, snow conditions and how well you know the mountain. That is why it can be a good idea to join an experienced guide or instructor.

Off-piste skiing is not necessarily about big mountain faces and extreme sport. For many, it is a chance to enjoy more varied skiing, find new lines and get to know natural terrain better.

On good days, you can find fun lines through the trees, softer snow and small natural features. At the same time, off-piste skiing always requires respect for the conditions, the terrain and your own ability level.

Before heading out into the terrain, it is important to familiarise yourself with the current avalanche information. Never ski outside the slopes without first assessing the weather, snow conditions, terrain and your own ability level.
