Trysil

Norway’s largest ski destination

Trysil in Eastern Norway is Norway's largest ski resort. The family-friendly destination is situated close to the Swedish boarder, about two and a half hours from Oslo by car or bus. Alternatively, you can drive for 45 minutes from the Scandinavian Mountains Airport in Sweden, which opened in 2019.

Have fun on the many slopes, or try fun activities such as dog sledding, sleigh rides and ice fishing.

Trysil was also one of the first holiday spots in Europe to achieve the prestigious Sustainable Tourism certification.

The view from the chairlift makes your heart beat faster. Soon, it’s your turn.

Ready … set … go!

In Trysil, all you have to worry about is which of the 69 slopes to hit next.

The instructors from SkiStar Guides are easy to spot in their red suits. For group lessons or insider tips, they’re your go-to people.

Let them steer you to the snow park, the coolest off-piste areas, and popular slopes like those in the Vihammerskogen forest.

They can also show you how it’s done if this is your first time skiing …

… or teach your little ones in the ski school.

Valle the snowman hangs out here too, and sometimes he puts on a show or arranges a treasure hunt!

Most cabins and hotels are located right by the slopes, which means that you never have to walk far – it’s ski-in, ski-out.

Have fun in the snow all day – even after the sun goes down, as some slopes have floodlights for night skiing.

Later, show off your dance moves during après-ski at a local bar or restaurant.

Still, there’s more to this winter wonderland than wide slopes and après-ski.

In and around Trysilfjellet mountain, you’ll find more than 100 kilometres of freshly groomed cross-country tracks.

Glide through the forest or towards the mountains and get a new perspective on Trysil’s beautiful surroundings.

Popular starting points are the Skihytta cabin and Fageråsen.

Action-packed days in the snow will definitely make you hungry. Luckily, you can get to more than 30 eateries from the slopes, and they serve everything from pizza and fondue to local cuisine and Asian bowls.

Delicacies from the Trysil region range from moose and “pultost” (sour milk cheese) to “rakfisk”, a fish dish made from fermented trout.

For a change of pace, and – let’s face it – warmer temperatures, a dip in the pool at the Radisson Blu Resort Trysil's waterpark will do you good.

Go on a magical winter sleigh ride with Trysil Hestesenter! Sled past fairy-tale scenes of snow covered trees, and enjoy a traditional three course meal in a warm and cosy lavvo tent.

Your next winter adventure is calling.

Trysil has achieved the certification Sustainable Destination. Although this does not mean that the destination is completely sustainable, it has made a commitment to work systematically to reduce the negative effects of tourism, while strengthening its positive ripple effects.
