Skiing
During the winter months there are many opportunities for skiing in the surroundings

Cross-country skiing without a fee:
  • We have a track outside the hostel 3.5 km with lights in the evening
  • A short distance away is a nice forest track which is 13 km, then there are further tracks a little bit away.
  • Or you can put on your skiis outside the door, put some sandwiches in the backpack then you go off skiing into the snow. You can make your own tracks or follow existing ones. There are plenty of forest roads in this neighborhood and sooner or later you will come to a sunny (?) spot where you stop for a lunch break.
    You can go everywhere, Orsa Hostel has some completely different suggestions for you. You can go directly from the hostel or drive somewhere

Cross-country skiing with pay tracks
There are several areas with very nice trails
Back Country skiing Spring skiing at Koppången is something you will never forget. Koppången is a nature reserve 40 km north of here, it is a marsh with some trees, it is a fantastic place
If the sun shines and the wind is weak, you can enjoy skiing on Lake Orsa all day.

Downhill skiing
If you prefere you can go downhill skiing at Grönklitt 15 km away, or you can go cross country skiing either at the trail close to the hostel or on the fine payment tracks in Grönklitt.
