Kanthaugen Freestyle Arena



Kanthaugen Freestyle Arena hosts Lillehammer's most enjoyable winter activity, sledging. That means snow spray and fun at the highest level! The sledges shoot down ballettbakken hill at full speed, but you soon get the hang of how to steer and brake with them, and there is a tow lift to bring you back up - while still sitting on your sledge - so it is perfect for the lazier sledgers,

The slope is approx. 1 km long. Everyone is equipped with a helmet ang goggles, and you control the speed yourself by applying the brakes on the toboggan as needed. It takes only a few runs before you are racing at full speed down the hill, laughing all the way. The toboggan is suitable for all age groups, but you need to be 10 years to ride alone.
