Five tips for a successful hike in Trysil

Plan your Trysil hike
With so many different hiking trails in Trysil municipality, it's best to work out some details in advance, such as length and area. If the weather is bad, cold or foggy, a simple walk in the woods may be better than a demanding mountain hike. Pack food and drink as needed.
Have the right equipment
If it's wet, slippery or you're visiting a swimming area, it's good to have the right equipment. A lightweight rucksack with an easy change of clothes, a rain jacket or a pair of boots for the wet bog can make your trip more comfortable.
The weather forecast is not the be-all and end-all
In the mountains, the weather can get a bit dodgy, and it can come quickly. You can pack for the conditions, but waterproof and windproof clothing can feel invaluable if the weather suddenly changes.
Save your energy a little
It can be easy to go out hard, but try to keep a moderate pace with breaks to avoid becoming exhausted. Then you'll have time to enjoy nature a little more.
Take care of nature
The right to roam is incredibly beautiful, so follow it. This keeps nature clean and wildlife undisturbed.
