Geilo Ski Resort
Located halfway between Bergen and Oslo, Geilo is one of Norway’s most popular family ski destinations and is home to 34km of tree-lined slopes.
The vertical may be modest – you pick up a maximum descent of 275m – but an efficient lift system and two varied pods of trails mean that Geilo punches above its weight. It is one of the best Norwegian destinations for families, but also freestyle skiers and boarders, whilst several racecourses are set to make the ski day a more interesting proposition. The town itself is focused around the train station (catching the train is definitely the best way to arrive), around which ten mid-sized hotels provide much of the catered accommodation – but if self-catering is your thing then there is a good range of cabins to choose from - quite a number of which are ski-in-ski-out.
