Best Ski Resort for Value in Norway: Hafjell - Value for Money Rating

Hafjell isn't the cheapest destination, with several Snomad users noting the high prices typical of Norwegian resorts. A beer will set you back around £9-10, and Keegan, an advanced snowboarder, mentioned that "food was very expensive, even more so than what you read online." However, many visitors still feel they get good value overall. First-time skier Guyon found kit hire and refreshments "well priced," while others appreciated the efficient lift system and well-groomed slopes that maximise skiing time. The varied accommodation options with good transport links from Oslo airport help offset some of the higher on-mountain costs.

#2 Trysil - Value for Money Rating

While Trysil's not the cheapest option, many users feel they get solid value for what they pay. "Despite being a peak week, it wasn't anywhere near as busy as French Alps resorts," notes Gavin, who's already booked a return trip. Equipment hire and lift passes are generally considered more reasonable than Alpine alternatives, though food and drink prices can sting – a beer typically costs €9-12. One Snomad community member liked that accommodation options like the Radisson Blu Prestige apartments offer good value, especially when booked directly through SkiStar. Many families find the overall package worth the investment for the quality of slopes and facilities.
