Beitostølen Reviews & Ratings

This is a small resort so not a huge number of runs but v quiet. We never waited for a lift often had slopes to ourselves and conditions were excellent. Ski hire was quick and efficient and everyone v helpful.

A good ski resort for those looking for quiet, easy-to-navigate runs to hone their skills. More experienced skiers/boarders will quickly cover all skiable terrain (we had completed all runs by day 3 of a week-long trip).

The resort itself was extremely quiet at the start of the week, with most bars and pubs completely deserted, but the atmosphere picked up toward the weekend, which was a welcome change.

A beautiful place and ski instructors were really good as a complete beginner... Food & drinks were expensive but accommodation at the apartments was great & place to shop so you can cook a bit .. Beginning of season so nightlife could have been better but had alot of potential .. overall I had a great time .. Everyone was really polite & helpful...Will definitely return in the future.

I have visited Beitøstolen twice now, both times with a group of beginners/first time skiers. It has a a really calm and friendly feel which is un-intimidating and perfect for building confidence on skis.

A great resort for beginners and those looking to advance from little experience. Only the bottom lifts were open when I went due to lack of snow which was a shame. But overall great resort with friendly staff.

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.

Pros: great for beginners/building confidence and skill, super friendly and safe feel, winter wonderland vibes, super quiet and peaceful, compact resort with all in short walking distanceCons: small ski area, lack of apres, minimal restaurant choices, expensive food and drink (but generally good quality)

Really quiet town with super easy access to the slopes and everything you need. Lots of options for all inclusive hotels and self catering. Plenty of shops to buy things for self catering. A few shops to buy skiing/snowboarding items from if you forget or want to buy some extra layers. Gorgeous sunrise and sunsets every day and beautiful views over the frozen lake from most hotels and the slopes.
Only downside is the slopes are only open from 10am-3/4pm but are open 2 times a week for late night skiing/snowboarding.
Really good for families as there are some quite slopes for practicing as well as lots of green/blue/reds all mixed together for different abilities. Black runs are on the opposite side of the lake that a free shuttle bus can take you to so you cant accidentally end up on a scary slope.
Nice restaurant half way up the slope for snacks/drinks while youre out on the slopes and plenty of restaurants and bars opens till late providing entertainment.
Lots of extra activities to do apart from skiing; horse riding, dog sledging, ice fishing, swimming pool and spa. Overall really nice peaceful resort with plenty to do for all levels

Smaller resort but not too busy. Friendly people. Probably more for beginners and intermediate. Snow rafting looks amazing but we were too early in the season to try.

There were a lot of great parts of Beitostolen, it's a charming place with plenty of local amenities and the snowboard instructors were really friendly, professional and kind. The review has probably been skewed because we went during the half term week and as such the slopes were really busy with lots of children which obviously made the runs a bit more nervy and crowded, but the resort and options on the slopes overall were very good, would definitely recommend even in the holidays.

No doubt one of the best European resort fpr family skiing n boarders nice little resort ,superb service . Easy to get to fro. The uk n other countries and always have good level of snow. All accommodation is very close to the slopes . Some actually in walking distance. Amazing skischool n also lots of other snow activities on offer very very good accommodation standard.
