From Bjøberg, the high mountain trail goes slowly but surely up past the lakes Ershovdtjednene before you head downhill towards Bulien and then down to Feten. Follow the valley Grøndalen south to Tuv. At Tuv, take off your skis and walk through the neighbourhood before putting your skis back on when you hit the ski track again across the river. The track follows the river down past the ski resort, via Totteskogen ski arena and Fýri Resort, before you reach the town centre.
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.
