Food
There is no meal break during the course sessions, so please make sure the children eat and drink well beforehand.
Skistua has an open café (11:00–16:00) where you can buy something to eat or drink after the course sessions. Bringing your own food and drinks into the café is not permitted.
It is possible to use the toilets inside the café before the courses.
Weather conditions
Check the temperature and snow conditions at our weather station and snow report. Here, you can also find tips on how to wax your skis before the courses.
The instructors take weather and wind into account and will adjust the activities accordingly. If the snow conditions are poor, the courses may be moved, and information will be provided as needed.
Equipment check
Check that the ski equipment is in order and suitable for the child before the start of the course. Ensure warm clothing, and it is advisable to use mittens instead of gloves.
For participants in the Grunnkurs and Løypekurs, we recommend using classic skis or waxless skis. The skis should not be too long. The poles should be the correct length, slightly shorter than the participant’s shoulder height.
For participants in the Skøytekurs (skating), we do not require special equipment, but we recommend skate skis or skis without grip wax, klister, or any grip zone.
Participants in Slalom and Snowboard must have equipment that is appropriate for the child’s height. A helmet is also mandatory.
We have some equipment available for rent in the ski rental located in the basement at Skistua. Opening hours are 10:00–11:00 during Barneskikursene.
Transport and parking
Please allow plenty of time for parking and arrival during Barneskikursene. There are many people in Bymarka at this time of year, so parking areas may fill up early in the morning!
Car: Parking is available at Litj-Gråkallen, Henriksåsen and Øvre Fjellseter. There are often many people in the area at this time of year, so make sure to allow plenty of time for parking and arrival.
