Norway is a magical landscape with reliable snow conditions and unspoilt scenery. Skiing is the national sport of Norway and runs deep in their history and culture. Skiers have been enjoying the sport for over 4000 years in the country and have created some of the leading winter athletes.
The ski areas aren’t as vast as the French, Austrian or Swiss mountains, but for what they miss out in size they make up for in epic terrain, lack of queues and the friendly atmosphere.
The sheer beauty of the Norwegian landscape makes a trip here truly unique and special, and the possibilities of off piste rival some of the largest European resorts.
With plenty winter activities to enjoy a ski holiday in Norway is a great choice for families. Non-ski adventures include husky sledding, ice climbing, horse-drawn sleighs, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.
With fantastic snow levels, Norway is a great choice for early and late season ski holidays as many resorts are open in November and operate through to May.
