Ski in Norway and experience a true winter wonderland

With a long season, un-crowded slopes and virtually non-existent lift queues – what better place to ski this winter than Norway.

Picturesque resorts to rival destinations worldwide can be found across Norway offering fabulous facilities for all the family. Whether you are a professional skier or a complete beginner, Norway caters for all abilities.

Popular resorts including Geilo, Trysil and Voss are all easily accessible from the UK, with flights under two hours and a warm welcome guaranteed.

Geilo, the country’s first ski resort, is full of traditional charm and has been a firm favourite with families for almost 100 years. With four children’s areas and special classes for youngsters – it is not hard to see why. A host of snowy activities also await the children including kick-sledding and tobogganing.

Voss remains an ideal destination for beginners and experienced skiers. Everyone can enjoy the spectacular view from the first day as the easy runs can be found at the top of the slopes instead of their normal location at the bottom. Those more experienced on the piste can take heart from the fact that Voss has fostered more Olympic participants than anywhere else in the world.

Norway’s largest ski resort of Trysil can be found in the east near to the Swedish border. With more than 70km of slopes, it also boasts a fantastic range of accommodation and après ski. New for this year is the 6-seat heated chair lift – believed to be the first of its type in Scandinavia.
