When temperatures remain below freezing and fresh snow settles, Gaustatoppen transforms into a true high mountain destination with first class powder. Open slopes and couloirs fill with light, dry snow, offering long, flowing descents from the summit all the way down.
We monitor weather and snow conditions closely and let you know when Gaustatoppen delivers what we are all waiting for: cold, deep powder and proper freeride days.
Gaustabanen marks a recommended, avalanche safe route from the summit. The marked descent is a moderately steep, ungroomed slope that runs from Tuddalstippen down to the entrance of Gaustabanen.
The descent is 2.4 kilometres long, with a maximum gradient of just under 30 degrees. It is suitable for intermediate skiers of all ages. As the route runs from tunnel entrance to tunnel entrance, getting back up is just as easy as skiing down. This is a great opportunity for a safe summit experience.
Avalanche risk is significant outside the recommended descent on Gaustatoppen.
All access and skiing take place at your own risk.
