Snowboarding in Norway

Norwegian terrain parks have invested a great deal of time and money in order to provide riders with more challenges and greater airtime.

Leading the park scene is Hemsedal. Voted as "one of the best terrain parks in the world" by the international snowboard press, the park is widely known for its high standard.

Big jumps, fun boxes, two half-pipes of up to 100 metres in length, two quarter-pipes and rails make Hemsedal an ideal playground for the thrill seeker. There is also a separate park for beginners.
