The area of Fursetfjellet is the starting point for a number of nice family and fitness trails. On sunny days, you will see a buzzing crowd of outdoor enthusiasts here. Appelsinhaugen can be a wonderful trail destination for children. It is located along the ski trail that runs up towards Raudheia. The area is perfect for stopping for a rest along the way and perhaps play on the hills nearby. The ski trail up to Appelsinhaugen will take you about 20 minutes at a leisurely pace. With the ascent of about 150 m, you will get a nice downhill slope on your way back to the car park.
