It's fun for the whole family, with four tracks for children.
Try the bike park or other skill trails. If you don’t have your own bicycle you can always rent one.
Feel a rush as you balance between treetops at the Høyt og Lavt High Rope Course!
Choose between 13 climbing routes. Start by flying down the zipline from the new Skarvetårnet climbing tower ...
... or challenge yourself by soaring down an even longer line.
Fly like an eagle down the mountainside on this 1,100-metre long Geilo Zipline! It's guaranteed to thrill the whole family!
You can also enjoy excellent cycling. Explore the famous Rallarvegen ('The Navvy Road') – Norway's most beautiful bike trail.
The route runs 80 km from Haugastøl to Flåm. You can add an extra 23 km by travelling east from Geilo to Haugastøl and from Myrdal to Voss.
The trail that twists and winds around Ustedalsfjorden is also a perfect cycling trip for families!
Another family-friendly activity is feeding wild animals. Don't worry, it is perfectly safe at Langedrag Nature Park.
Choose between day visits, overnight accommodation, or camping all year round. Explore the park on your own or with a guide.

With both Hallingskarvet and Hardangervidda national parks nearby, there are plenty of hiking opportunities in Geilo.
Take a guided glacier trekking tour on the Hardangerjøkulen, or climb the roughly 2,500 stone steps up the Prestholtstien trail, to the top of Hallingskarvet mountain.
From there you can choose to continue on the Prestholtrunden hike, which takes around three hours both ways.
Then it’s time for a reward! The cosy Prestholtseter mountain café serves a tasty sour cream porridge. And an award-winning cheesy treat awaits next door …
… courtesy of these cuties.
Traditional Prestholt goat cheeses come in both brown and white.
You can sample delicious local cheeses at Hol Ysteri in the nearby village of Hol.
