Trenger hjelp med dette til en nettside, og er ikke en gang sportsinteressert nok til å vite hva en trimtrase egentlig innebærer...

På forhånd takk. :)

English translation:(ski) training trail
Explanation:
It wasn't clear from the (limited) context that this related to skiing. Also, a Google search resulted in only two hits for this term, which indicates how unusual it actually is. Anyway, in case you still need help, here is another suggestion. Your term suggests that this is a short track or trail used primarily for training or light exercise.

I assumed the context would be clear when I chose the category "Sports / Fitness / Recreation / Ski, langrenn - cross country skiing", but I will be sure to specify further next time.

I settled on "exercise trail" independently, but this suggestion is close enough that I will at least select and rate it. Thanks.
