Description of the trip
​
After arriving in the parking lot, we are ready to embark on today's ski trip to Hansbu on Hardangervidda. The 4.5 mile trip takes approx. 7 hours, so it's important to start as early as possible. Before the trip, Nils takes a final check to make sure everyone has packed the bags in relation to the agreed package list.
The terrain is varied and hilly, but does not present the major challenges beyond the actual distance to the cabin. Although this is a full day ski trip, we take plenty of time to stop by to bring some lunch and the two meals that Nils prepares for the storm kitchen.
Once you arrive it is good to put the skis to the cabin wall and get your backpacks off, and make sure there is a quick fire in the stove in the cabin.
Over the next 3 days, Nils will set up various tours where you will have plenty of time to experience the spectacular snow-covered forests. If you do not see the wild deer directly from the cabin windows then you will probably encounter a flock or two on one of the trips. It is not difficult to find great resting places in the rolling white countryside, and when Nils has got holes in the ice on one of the many lakes it is just to take out the arrow bars and try the fishing luck. Surely nothing tastes better than my own trout for lunch. For those who are authorized to do so, it will also be possible to hunt, within the laws and regulations that apply to this. Vida's magnificent rolling winter landscape provides tranquility and peace of mind, while a positive energy flows on and recharges the body's battery.
Being on tour with Nils is an exercise in sustainability, something that the reasonably newly built and authentic cabin carries. Here are arrangements for electricity via a solar panel while the stove, fridge and freezer are powered by gas.
After 3 days of replenishing spectacular nature experiences peace and quiet, it is time to embark on the trip back.

Tailor their own tour
The tour described here is only a suggestion for a current trip. From experience there are many different wishes with regard to activities and experiences, and how one wishes to emphasize these. Therefore, I would be happy to assist in organizing a trip that suits their wishes and needs.
Weather conditions
Weather is something we must surely deal with at Hardangervidda, and it can be both whimsical and demanding. All our guests must therefore be prepared for the day trips to and from the cabin, and the day activities are organized according to how the weather and weather forecasts are at all times. Therefore, there may be necessary changes to the description and activities.
