Skiing

Are you a fan of skiing, either cross-country or downhill? We'll take you to the hills and trails.

Make the journey part of your adventure 

When you leave the car at home, you don't have to worry about finding parking or navigating slippery roads. Pack your bag with hot cocoa and warm clothes, and start your trip with a relaxing bus ride where you can enjoy the view and recharge for your activities.

Bring the kids for free during the weekend 

Turn a winter day into a family adventure! Every weekend, anyone over the age of 18 can bring up to four children under the age of 18 for free on the bus. This makes it both easier and more affordable to take the whole family out into the winter weather.

Plan your trip 

Find the best route to the slopes or trails quickly and easily using our travel planner, the Brakar app, or Entur. Remember to check traffic alerts before you leave, especially during heavy snowfall.
