Really good location, caught the train from Oslo which I would 100% recommend very scenic journey.
Very nice ski runs, everything is efficient regarding ski hire, no language issues, food on the slopes is very reasonable, also a really nice pub at the bottom of the slopes!
Slopes nicely groomed, didn’t have the best weather was powdery in some places but not everywhere, really lovely staff who couldn’t do enough for you!

We went to Hafjell for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. The slopes were pretty the trees were other worldly, the snow great and the snowpark was cool. For a smallish resort it had everything we needed for an awesome weekend. Food isn't amazing at the bottom but up the hill it was nice. As its Norway we recommend getting beers from the supermarket for your room as it aint cheap. Getting there is soooooo easy - an hour-ish on the dual carriageway. We also had a fan stop off at the ski jump - it was just befoee dusk and closed but you can still go up the steps at the side to the top. The beware no sledging signs made us chuckle - so Norway not to have it locked down and barriered off
