- Snow-sure slopes and a long season
One of the best things about skiing in Norway? The snow is reliable. The season kicks off as early as late October and stretches all the way through to April, so you’ve got months of fantastic conditions to enjoy. Myrkdalen is one of the most snow-sure resorts in all of Europe, with deep, powdery slopes that stay in top shape throughout the season. And while Voss sits at a lower elevation, it still delivers impressive snowfall year after year. Over in Geilo, the snow record speaks for itself—expect pristine slopes and plenty of fresh powder, perfect for carving turns or venturing off-piste.
2. Less crowds, more slope time
You won’t find large crowds queuing for a chairlift in Norway. The slopes here are refreshingly quiet, meaning more time on the slopes and less time waiting around. Even in peak season, you’ll often find yourself with wide, open runs all to yourself – especially in resorts like Myrkdalen and Geilo. Voss, despite being one of Norway’s most well-known ski areas, never feels overcrowded either. It’s all about relaxed, stress-free skiing, where you can make the most of every single run without the usual hustle and bustle.

3. Fjords galore
Norway’s breathtaking landscape is renowned for its stunning fjords and making a visit to one is an essential part of any trip. If you’re staying in Voss or Myrkdalen, you can easily explore the nearby Aurlandsfjord and embark on an eco-friendly, electric-powered cruise through the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord. This unforgettable experience showcases Norway’s dramatic natural beauty at its finest.
After your fjord cruise, you’ll have the opportunity to stop in the charming town of Flåm before boarding the popular Flåm Railway. Often described as one of the most scenic train journeys in the world, this spectacular route winds through towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, and picturesque valleys, making it one of Norway’s top tourist attractions.
4. Beginner & family-friendly
Norway’s ski resorts are a dream for families, with a relaxed atmosphere, well-groomed slopes, and fantastic ski schools. Voss is excellent for beginners, with plenty of gentle greens to start with and some cruisy blues to advance to and perfect your new skills. Geilo, in particular, is known for its beginner-friendly runs and excellent childcare facilities, making it a stress-free choice for parents with little ones.

5. Not just skiing
Skiing might be the main draw, but there’s so much more to experience during Norway’s winter. Swap your skis for a sled and race down thrilling toboggan runs, try your hand at cross-country skiing, or explore snow-covered landscapes on a serene snowshoe hike. For something different, in Geilo you can take an icy plunge with a traditional ice bath before warming up in a sauna with breath-taking views. And if you’re looking for something more unique, Voss has indoor skydiving, offering an adrenaline rush like no other. Whether you’re chasing adventure or just looking to unwind, these resorts have something special for everyone—both on and off the slopes.
With snow-sure slopes, peaceful runs, and endless off-slope adventures, Norway’s ski resorts offer a truly special winter escape.
