Norway, a winter wonderland with its winding roads, crunchy snow underfoot, and stunning fjords, attracts thousands of skiers seeking two to three weeks of truly cold, sunny winter.

Lillehammer
Skiing trips to Lillehammer are among the most popular among our compatriots. This city, which hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics, is one of the largest ski resorts in Norway. Here you’ll find 39 kilometers of pistes of varying difficulty, including 10 green, 9 blue, 7 red, and 4 black, as well as about 300 kilometers of cross-country pistes. The vertical drop is 835 meters, and a convenient Lillehammer Ski Pass is available, allowing skiing at any of the five neighboring ski resorts: Hafjell, Kvitfjell, Gålå, Skeikampen, and Sjøsjøen.

Trysil
Trysil, located three hours from Oslo and close to the Swedish border, boasts the longest ski season, running from late October until May. The resort offers a ski school, an extensive network of pistes totaling 71 kilometers, and 100 kilometers of cross-country trails. These are just a few of the many attractions Trysil boasts.

Geilo and Hemsedal
Geilo is considered one of the most picturesque ski resorts in Norway. Its beautiful scenery attracted skiers over a hundred years ago, and in 1935, the first competition was held there. The resort boasts approximately 39 slopes, as well as three snowboarding trails. Three ski schools are also located here. One of Geilo’s unique features is its proximity to the diverse entertainment and amenities of the big city, allowing guests to enjoy new local establishments and spend cozy evenings with a glass of mulled wine. Hemsedal, known as the “Scandinavian Alps,” is spread across three peaks: Totten (1,450 m), Tinden (1,444 m), and Røjin (1,370 m). The resort offers 48 ski runs. Hemsedal is especially popular among snowboarders, considered one of the best places for snowboarding. Its dedicated runs, jumps, big airs, and rails make it an attractive destination for snowboarding enthusiasts.
