Skitur til Langsua

Skitur til Langsua

Join us on a fjell cross country trip to a cabin in Langsua National Park from Friday Feb 23^rd to Sunday Feb 25^th. The registration opens on Friday Feb 9^th at 18:00. There will be seven spots!

This is a multiday cross-country trip so it is required that you have some previous skiing experience. Keep in mind that you need to arrange the skiing equipment yourself as OSI Friluft unfortunately does not have skis. It is better to get fjellski or back country cross country skis.

This is how we imagine the weekend:

We plan to leave at 07 00 AM on Friday morning and drive to Yddin Fjellstue by car (~3.5h). We then have 13 km of ski tracks with around 300m of altitude ahead of us before we arrive at Storeskag cabin. 

On Saturday, you are free to choose whether you want to relax at the cabin, or join us in exploring some more of the area, or make everyone happy by preparing dinner :)

As for the explorers: 

Our plan for Saturday is to go on a day trip in the National Park and return to the same cabin in the evening. Depending on fitness levels the trip can be up to 35 km!  

After a relaxed morning on Sunday, we will return to Yddin and drive back to Oslo. We won’t be back in Oslo before 9 or 10 pm on Sunday evening!

Good to know:

Food:

Dinner on Friday and Saturday is arranged by OSI Friluft. Please make sure to add allergies in the registration form. Also be aware that you will need to leave some space in your backpack to carry some of the ingredients. 

Cabin

Check out the cabin here: https://ut.no/hytte/101193/storeskag

The cabin is a self-service cabin. This means it has a stock of food which you can buy (either beforehand or once there) via an app called DNT Hyttebetaling. Download it before the trip to check whether you prefer to buy your breakfast & lunch there instead of bringing it with you. 

Please bring your own bed linen or thin linen sleeping bag. The cabin provides duvets and woolen blankets. It is also equipped with a gas stove, a wood stove for heating, and kitchen equipment. Water has to be ‘collected’ outside (melt the snow). Bring enough water in case you don’t feel comfortable drinking it. 

Price

For DNT UNG members the price is 550 NOK, for DNT members above 26 it is NOK 650, for non DNT members it is 750 NOK and for anyone who can provide a car it is NOK 300.

Keep in mind that DNT membership and Friluft membership are two separate things.
