Geilo SKI RESORT
Geilo is a classic winter sports resort, with a proud history as one of Scandinavia's leading and most popular alpine destinations. Geilo is more than just a ski resort. Few winter destinations in Norway have as many accommodation options, activities and service offers as Geilo.
Geilo is located midway between Bergen and Oslo. Geilo Station is 794m above sea level, which makes Geilo pretty snow-sure. The resort centre is surrounded by a valley with ski resorts on both sides, and several family-friendly hotels close to both the ski resort and the centre. The ski resort at Geilo is very suitable for families, as there are fantastic children's areas, nice slopes consisting of chairlifts and T-hooks. Take the ski bus easily to and from the ski centre, as well as to and from the centre. At Geilo, the distances between the highlights are short - the ski resort, the accommodation, the centre and the activities are all gathered in a small radius that embraces Geilo.
Getting around Geilo is easy - one of three ski buses will take you around. Both to and from the ski area, as well as to and from the resort centre when you go shopping. The ski bus is completely free, with and without skis on!
Lots of non-skiing activites are available for you to enjoy when you're not on the slopes.
How about ice bathing and sauna, dog sledding or guided snowshoeing?
Perfect for both families and couples who enjoy winter experiences!
