Beitostølen is a charming mountain village in Norway, known for its family-friendly atmosphere and year-round activities. The resort offers 21 slopes catering to beginners and intermediates, along with 320 km of cross-country trails that connect to the stunning Jotunheimen National Park. Visitors can enjoy activities like dog sledding, ice fishing and horseback riding. The slopes are easily accessible, with two ski areas and a single pass covering both family-friendly runs in the village and more challenging slopes in Raudalen.

Reviews

Nice slopes in the main area , which are quiet . The black runs on the otherside with free transport. The town as plenty of restaurants and bars . Lots of accommodation to choose from , diffidently worth a visit and great for children to learn to ski. The snow rafting and body boarding is great.

The resort is about 3.5hr from Oslo but has every amenity you could need, 3 supermarkets, a few pubs and bars and loads of places to eat. There is a weekly events list from karaoke, pub quizzes and apres events. The lodge at the bottom of the slopes has a DJ until the early hours and the Riddergaarden spa has amazing views of the mountains and slopes with a swim in and out area & outdoor hot tub (with a bar). The slopes are great and you have access to 3 other pistes (2red, 1black) with a free ski bus between! Would definitely recommend for those looking for a family friendly or locals resort!

The resort is a quaint little spot that has nice chilled runs but also the opportunity to progress your skills, with good lifts and lots of amenities close by. The pubs are good and the food is top notch. The instructors are very good, knowledgeable and patient. It's a bit of a long transfer by coach, but the views and rustic aesthetic are definitely worth it.Would definitely recommend.
