Great resort. Really friendly ski staff in all areas. The resort is split over two mountain sides and the Geilolia side contains most snow parks. Both sides have a good combination of runs and plenty to ski. Apres is great if limited outside of the main town. Lots is ski in ski out options for accommodation. Loved it

Geilo is a lovely quiet resort, great for beginners looking for plenty of greens and blues to practice on. The people here are also so friendly.

Apres-Ski isn’t really a thing here through the week, so if you’re looking for a party this isn’t the right place. Instead it’s a great place for having a cosy evening and sauna after a day of skiing.
