Reviews

The resort and facilities were amazing. We went at the beginning of December, during a very warm winter. There had been no snow but they had managed to make the best of it by keeping the slopes topped up with machine generated snow and grooming it down. The quality of the runs were great but the food was very expensive, even more so than what you read online, but that is standard across Norway.

First time skiing, loved it! Lots of variable runs, food and drinks seemed well priced and so was the kit hire.

An incredible first experience of snowboarding in Norway over new year. Difficult at times with not much snow as a beginner, but all in all a great experience and will definitely be returning.
