From Bjøberg, you experience a steady ascent first up to the lakes Ershovtjernene and a little further up to the trail's highest point with a beautiful view. From there, you descend towards the valley Bulien. Take a break in the beautiful mountain farm area before either returning or continuing downhill towards Feten at the innermost part of the valley Grøndalen.
See live grooming status of tracks at skisporet.no.
Is you dog with you? Remember that your dog should not hinder anyone. There is a leash requirement in all machine groomed trails during Christmas-, winter-, and Easter holidays. Also note that the leash requirement is valid all season on the ski areanas Totteskogen and Gravset, as well as the the valley & forest tracks from Gravset in the east to Feten and Lio in the west. Thank you for cleaning up after your dog.
