The Trysil River plays a key role in Trysil. It wends its way across the whole of the municipality, from North to South, a stretch that covers around 100 kilometres. The river is well-suited to many different activities, from calm trips on wooden rafts to white-water rafting and adrenalin-inducing kayak and river board experiences.
The water temperature in the Trysil River is good and the season is long. We offer a wealth of river activities from May to October!
An action-packed day
Trysil offers everything you need for an action-packed day on the river, with plenty of fun and games. Naturally wetsuit and safety equipment are included in the price of our activities, and our experienced guides ensure that all safety standards are met. With a glint in their eye they take you through both the river’s rapids and calmer sections.
Bubbles of excitement
Why not go for a swim en route? Jump straight out into one of the rapids and let the water carry you along. You’ll be sure to feel the excitement bubbling inside you! Freshly barbecued hot dogs or a hot meal in the Sami lavvo tent rarely taste as good as after a day on the river.
We have a wealth of experiences on offer, and young and old alike can safely join in – regardless of experience.

Equipment and safety
With the exception of the wooden raft trips, Villmarkskompaniet organises all river activities in Trysil. The company has a very strong focus on safety. The guides have a high level of training and many years’ experience.
Villmarkskompaniet’s equipment is of the highest quality and is selected from the world’s leading manufacturers. An important safety element is that the rafts are self-bailing. This means that as they fill with water, this quickly empties through drainage holes in the floor.
A neoprene wetsuit keeps you warm, even if you get wet. Wetsuits, helmets and life jackets are standard equipment.
What is required of you?
To participate on one of the trips you must be able to swim and you must not be under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicants. You should not have any serious health problems or conditions that can be induced by being in cold water.
Check list for your trip on the river
Bring swimwear, trainers and woollen socks. Thermal underwear, a woollen or fleece jumper and a waterproof jacket are also a good idea. N.B. Cotton loses its warming qualities when wet.
