Norefjell Ski Resort
Norefjell ski resort is a great choice for a ski holiday. This Norwegian ski resort is suitable for families, beginners and intermediates. Norefjell is one of Norway’s most historic ski areas, having hosted the downhill and giant slalom events at the 1952 Oslo Winter Olympics (the very first time giant slalom featured at the Games). Less than two hours from Oslo, it’s a peaceful, tree-lined resort overlooking Lake Krøderen, with Norway’s greatest vertical drop and a south-east-facing aspect that makes the most of the short Scandinavian daylight hours. Rather than one central village, Norefjell is made up of clusters of ski-in ski-out accommodation, bars and restaurants, giving it a relaxed, spread-out feel that suits families perfectly.
Norefjell offers 25km of largely blue and green pistes, ideal for beginners and families, but with enough red and black terrain through the trees towards the lake to keep more experienced skiers entertained too. The standout run is the descent from the top of the resort at Norefjell Øvre down to Norefjell Nedre, a 6.5km uninterrupted run and one of the longest in Norway. With an excellent snowpark, 120km of cross-country trails, and even floodlit skiing on select evenings, there’s plenty to keep every kind of skier busy.
After a day on the slopes, our experts particularly recommend Norefjell Ski and Spa, a ski-in ski-out hotel right beside the beginner slopes with its own spa, pool and climbing wall, ideal for families wanting everything on their doorstep.
