Trysil
Trysil is found in the heart of Scandinavia but despite the remoteness, it is still accessible by car and bus. With two stunning hotels, cabins and camping options to choose from, there is accommodation that suits every family.
You will need to be well-rested in order to explore the surrounding terrain. Although it is equally beautiful and varied, there are slopes and activities suitable for all ages. There are options for skiers of all ages and abilities with dedicated children’s areas as well as ski schools with English-speaking instructors. You will be skiing like a pro in no time!
If you fancy a day away from the slopes, Trysil offers dog sledding, a water park and even a bowling alley for a more relaxed day.
Hafjell
Hafjell is another family-friendly resort that you and the kids will love. Located just 15 minutes north of Lillehammer, Olympic fans should make the trip for the Olympic Museum alone. Showcasing the history of the Olympics, there are two special exhibits highlighting the two occasions Norway has hosted.
If you decide to spend all your time in Hafjell, you won’t be disappointed. Like Trysil, there is a range of wide slopes and terrain parks that are suitable for all ages. It is also home to some amazing childcare facilities for the little ones.
For those visiting in summer, don’t worry about a lack of snow as there are onsite snow cannons to ensure there is enough to go around. The warmer months also mean that the bike park is open which is great for kids and adults alike.
Norefjell
Holidays are meant to be relaxing, so if your family wants a quieter time away, then head to Norefjell. This ski resort is more intimate and less crowded, meaning you get time to relax as well as space to enjoy yourselves.
Kids will be delighted at the three different zones designed exclusively for them. There is also a chance to meet the resort mascot, Nore Rein! This cheeky reindeer loves nothing more than organising races between the kids as well as other fun activities.
The accommodation is varied at the resort too, with options for families of all sizes. The apartments and cabins are great value for money, meaning you will leave feeling like you have had a bargain.
