Ski, Freeriding and Alpine Touring

Gaustatoppen and Gaustabanen are easily accessible from Gausta Ski Resort. When snow conditions allow, you can ski all the way from Gaustatoppen back to the resort, combining panoramic views with a memorable descent.

Travelling between the ski resort and Gaustabanen is simple. The free Gaustaekspressen shuttle bus runs between Gaustablikk, Hovedstaul and Gaustabanen, with frequent departures throughout the day, making it easy to move between the different areas.

On the east side of Gaustatoppen there are seven couloirs that go down from the ridge where it’s possible to ski. These runs are steep — from 40 to 52 degrees at the steepest — and are only suitable for experienced skiers.

If you’re an experienced daredevil, you can have a fantastic experience that in no way falls short of what you’d find in the Alps.

• Weather and conditions on Gaustatoppen change quickly.

• The routes are not marked.

• Regardless of skill level, bring an experienced guide.

• There is a high avalanche risk — all skiing is done at your own responsibility.
