SKIING IN NORWAY
It’s said that Norwegian’s are born with skis on their feet, and it truly is in the blood! Skiing is cross generational and the relaxed, friendly piste atmosphere and easy access and layouts of accommodation and resorts reflect this. Snow conditions, especially in the east of the country, are amongst some of the most stable in Europe, which offers a degree of greater reliability in these times of climate change.
Alpine/ Downhill Skiing
Honestly, the resorts generally lack the extensive runs of most other European countries but what they lack in quantity they certainly make up for in quality. Well- groomed, wide, and relatively quiet slopes are ideal for beginners and allow intermediate skiers to focus on their skills rather than constantly worry about their safety. The excellent off- piste, powder snow skiing opportunities can excite and challenge even the best of skiers.
The ski schools are English- speaking, friendly and extremely professional. Most resorts offer children’s ski lessons from the age of 3 or 4 years. Norwegian ski resorts are usually within easy access of cities and airports, making skiing breaks super easy to combine with a cultural extension to your holiday.
If you want good, clean, fresh air, excellent food and to spend most of your skiing holiday on the slopes, rather than standing in lift queues, than Norway is the definitely the place for you!
