Our New Ski Norway Programme
We have been working over the summer to put together our first ski programme to Europe and are happy to report that we have just gone on sale with 3 new resorts in Norway for the 24/25 season.
BEITOSTOLEN
A family-run resort which caters extremely well for families and beginners or for those looknig to practice their technique, Beitostolen offers two separate ski areas, a pleasant little village and a wide range of accommodation options from cosy to affordable quality. it also focusses on winter experiences beyond just skiing with activities such as dog-sledding, cross country skiing (which is huge here), snow rafting, snowshoe tours and ice fishing to name but a few.
For a small resort, it offers more apres ski than you would think with the Lodge900 being the main apres bar and then later in the evening you can visit the Svingen pub for Quiz or Karaoke night or the Brew House with its almost 40 beers on tap.
GEILO
Regarded as one of the premier Scandinavian ski destinations, Geilo has along history of mountain leisure and is very well set up to cater for all kinds of skier.
Separated into two distinct ski areas on opposite sides of the valley, connected by a short bus hop, families will enjoy the Vestlia side with it's Kids Club and easy slopes for children. There are a couple of on-mountain dining experiences such as Kikut Bistro which are atmospheric and well worth a visit.
The Geilo side of the ski area links over the back to Havsdalen and offers a range of cruising runs that stretch along the peaks.
The resort centre is small but offers shopping and dining options from Peppe's Pizza to fine dinng at Hallingstuene.
NOREFJELL
This resort is all about the skiing - offering some very enjoyable off-piste as well as the longest vertical descent in Northern Europe at just over 1000m from the top of the mountain down to the lake..Super choice for families and those looking for some long rums and tree skiing.
There is no village centre s such..just one high quality self-catering property, Norefellstua located ski in/ski out on the mountain and further up the slopes is the Norefjell SKi & Spa Hotel which offers a full range of amenities so you are never bored.
