Perfect for a weekend, I don't think you'd squeeze a week out of it, especially if you're used to the big Alpine resorts; but if you've got kids you would. One of the loveliest runs is sadly accessed by a steep and long T-bar but if you can handle it the run is lovely.
The snow is different to the alps, it's more like the US, so it's dry and lovely: the pistes are groomed to perfection and what you don't get is all the chewed up crud at the end of the day.
We loved it and will return...:: BUT it benefits from going mid Jan - Sprint rather than early in the season

Very good impression of the resort and well facilitated as a first time skier. Would have preferred clearer indications of the trails however once found they were pleasant to follow.

Quiet resort perfect for families the skiing is assured due to plenty of guaranteed snow with fresh dumps weekly. Well kept resort with 54 runs something for everyone to keep entertained. Tuenliftboasses are reasonable.This minute resort for those seeking lively resort nightlife its more a family type resort. Fully recommend the Radisson blu resort for stay

Had 7 nights in Trysil over New Year early 2025. Really enjoyed the resort and have already booked to go back 3rd week in Jan next year. Despite being a peak week, it wasnt anywhere near as busy as French Alps resorts so lift queues werent crazy. However going 3 weeks later next Jan will mean even less time queuing. Accommodation is a lot cheaper as well. For groups, consider the Prestige apartments at the Radisson Blu which can only be booked via the official resort website called SkiStar. Pistes were well kept and groomed. Lots of lovely green and blue pistes that snake their way down through the trees, as well as the wide open slopes covering blues, reds and blacks. Food and drink wasnt the cheapest but lift passes and equipment hire was certainly cheaper than the alps. Overall, its a lovely friendly varied resort with enough variety for our groups skill level which is green, blue and some of the more gentler reds.

A really good resort thoroughly enjoyed several holidays there , perfect for all levels of skier , very safe compared to French resorts Ive been too however less apres although there are 1 or two bars that are very fun. Only downside is long bar lifts

For an experienced skier with a novice partner, this resort has it all. The Hoyfjellssenter with enough ski in ski out green runs for a week's holiday, Hogegga with plenty of black runs to scare yourself, and Turistsenter with plenty of blues and reds for variety.The ski school offers everything from beginner lessons (group and private) to off piste adventures for the more experienced.The deer burger at knettsetra is fantastic!

Booked the holiday through BA holidays and was very happy with the price, accomodations, choice of runs, speedy lifts and the ski school. Stayed at the Radison Blu which had friendly and helpful staff plus a fantastic breakfast buffet to give you plenty of fuel for a day of boarding!

Buses poor. Everything else good. Lots of snow. Not too busy. Expensive food and drink but as expected

The resort had very nice slopes for my level, however the lifts don't connect the slopes as well as they could. Night skiing was great but could do with a larger are open for it, maybe one of the chairlifts to accommodate users who are not as comfortable with the t-bar and button lifts.

We have been to Trysil twice - once in February half term (UK school holiday) and once in Easter in April.
The quality of the pistes is excellent and despite being a relatively small resort it has some great variety in terms of runs. In April we managed 110km of runs and 10,000m vertical in one day which was a good effort.
It is truly excellent for families at a beginner/intermediate level and while we skied a few of the runs a number of times we really enjoyed all aspects of the mountain.
The chairlifts are modern and quick but there are a lot of t bars too - however you can ski the majority of the resort/runs by sticking to chairs. We really loved the Hogegga runs in particular - these are classed as black runs but realistically are a French red. The only true black run is 45 and is a real battle if it is icy.
The early morning and evening floodlit ski ing on certain days is an absolute must.
We came to avoid the crowds in Europe in Feb half term but in reality it was packed with Danish/Swedish whose own holidays overlapped so do check whether you clash. April/Easter was much much quieter and the snow quality was still really good.
There is quite a lively bar for apres ski and some nice terraces too but it isn't Austria!
We stayed at the Radisson Blu resort and loved the ski in/ski out and the hotel itself is lovely with other activities (swimming, bowling etc) for the kids to do.
