| reliable
snow, specially designed beginners areas and an english speaking ski
school make Geilo a good choice for your first winter holiday. many
runs wide and uncrowded, creating the perfect atmosphere for
developing confidence. |
|
| with an
efficient lift system, queuing is almost unheard of across the two
ski areas (north and south facing). the vestlia area offers all
grades of pistes. the run behind the village has wide open runs and
a variety of runs back to the village through the trees. |
|
| seven black
runs, including a couple of mogul fields. this resort is not for the
aggressive expert skier. day trips available to nearby Hemsedal
where there is a good choice of black runs. |
|
| specially
designed terrain, including two snowboard parks and halfpipes. there
is a 100m pipe. here you'll find hits, spines, rail, kickers and
quarterpipe. the pipe is open til 10pm. a good choice for beginners
and those more advanced. |
