Skiing in Norway

White magic awaits

Feel the flow! When the mighty mountains and valleys of Norway are covered in snow, there’s only one thing to do: swap your shoes for ski boots.

Go alpine skiing and feel as free as a bird when you hit the slopes!

Our best ski resorts are known for their combination of family-friendly hills and thrilling descents suitable for more advanced skiers, as well as their long seasons. Many of these resorts also easily accessible by public transport.

Or perhaps you prefer to go with the wind – literally?

Try kiting in the snow on skis or a snowboard!

If you are really confident in your downhill skills, you can add an extra uphill challenge and join a guided ski touring trip!

It’s totally worth the legwork, we promise.

Views like this are the reward!

When it’s time to slow down and take in the scenery, cross-country skiing is perfect.

In Norway, kilometres upon kilometres of prepared tracks wind their way between snow-capped trees and across wide mountain plateaus.

For us, skiing is all about having a good time and enjoying the moment. Many popular ski destinations offer both cross-country skiing and alpine skiing…

… as well as fun things to do without skis if you want to change it up.

So, what are you waiting for?

Go alpine skiing, kiting, cross-country skiing or ski touring!
