Snowshoe rental at Slaatta

Explore the Magic of Winter – Rent Snowshoes at Slaatta Skisenter and Create Your Own Adventure

Experience the freedom of exploring Norway’s winter wonderland at your own pace! Snowshoeing is one of the oldest and most traditional ways to move through snowy landscapes — and now, with modern, lightweight snowshoes, it’s easier and more fun than ever.

At Slaatta Skisenter in Geilo, you can rent high-quality snowshoes and poles, perfect for self-guided adventures into the beautiful mountain terrain surrounding Geilo. Whether you want to take a peaceful break from the ski slopes, explore snow-covered forests, or trek to a frozen lake high up on the Hardangervidda plateau (45min by car), snowshoes will take you there — off the beaten path and into the heart of nature.

Find your own path — with help from us

Not sure where to go? No problem! On our website geilo.com, you’ll find an interactive map where you can filter for suggestions for snowshoeing routes. Discover suggested trails suited to different skill levels, from gentle family-friendly strolls to more adventurous routes leading to spectacular viewpoints. And remember — in Norway, thanks to our Allemannsretten (the Right to Roam), you are free to make your own path through the untouched wilderness, as long as you respect nature.

A safe and rewarding adventure for all

We understand that heading into nature without marked trails might feel intimidating, especially for visitors not used to the freedom of the Norwegian outdoors. But that’s exactly what makes this experience so magical. With snowshoes, you can walk where you like — across frozen lakes, through quiet forests, or up gentle hills, all while surrounded by stunning views and the peaceful silence of winter.

Snowshoeing is easy to learn, suitable for all ages and fitness levels, and a fun way to explore the snowy landscape together with family and friends. At Slaatta Skisenter, we offer three different snowshoe sizes to ensure a perfect fit for everyone. Every rental includes a brief introduction, poles, and helpful local tips — so you’ll feel confident before setting off.

If you prefer to join a guided tour, we also offer private and group snowshoe tours — contact us for details!
