Norway Ski Holidays

In comparison to other ski destinations in Europe, Norway enjoys a long ski season with incredible snow conditions. The season runs from November through to late April or early May, which means you’ll have ample opportunity to book a ski holiday to Norway at a time in the year that suits you best.

Typically, you’ll find the best snow conditions from December through to February, which makes travelling to Norway for a family ski holiday during the festive period or February half-term holidays a fantastic choice. If you would prefer to travel later in the year, you’ll benefit from longer, brighter days and more opportunities to soak up the staggering beauty that surrounds you on the slopes.

If you’re looking for a snow-filled adventure the whole family can enjoy, look no further than Norway. The country has family-friendly skiing opportunities in abundance, with a range of ski resorts specifically catering to people travelling with children of all ages.

Below are just some of our favourite resorts for a family skiing holiday in Norway:

• Geilo: One of the most popular resorts for families, Geilo is the perfect destination for a family ski holiday in Norway. Aside from skiing, you and your family will be spoilt for choice when it comes to other winter activities in Geilo, such as dog sledding, tobogganing or riding in a horse-drawn sleigh.
• Norefjell: Only 90 minutes’ drive from Oslo, this relaxing resort is the ideal choice for families who do not want to travel too far from the international airport. Children will love the on-site snowpark with its excellent jumps, rails and wallrides. Norefjell also boasts a great ski school and excellent childcare facilities.
• Kvitfjell: The resort’s 39km of slopes cater to all ages and abilities, as does its snowpark with 12 rails/boxes and 8 jumps. Kvitfjell also has a fantastic ski school that offers lessons for children in a group or private setting to help build their confidence.
• Hemsedal: This ski resort boasts an excellent range of terrain, including green tree-lined runs, surrounded by exceptional scenery and with reliable snow conditions. A typically Norwegian village, with a relaxed atmosphere, Hemsedal is the ideal location for a holiday with little ones where you can enjoy a quieter getaway.

You’ll find a wealth of resorts for a ski holiday in Norway that are perfectly suited to beginners or those who want to build their confidence on the slopes.
