Skiing
With reliable snowfalls, Norway’s long ski-season lasts from November to May. Norway’s un-crowded pistes are perfect for building confidence, with Beitostolen (eastern Norway) and Geilo (southern Norway) particularly popular and a great destination for family and beginner ski holidays.
Hafjell, located 15km from the town of Lillehammer, also accommodates beginners but challenging Olympic runs and the well-maintained terrain park offer challenges for the more experienced.
Off-piste skiers and boarders should head to Hemsedal (Southern Norway). Expect a mixed terrain of open bowls and forested slopes, as well as a world-class snow park and over 200km of cross-country trails.
For remote ski-mountaineering, try the Lyngen Alps (North Norway).The ski able terrain here is vast with 1500-metre peaks and tree-skiing for heavy snowfalls.
