Trysil Reviews & Ratings

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.

This was my first time skiing and it was amazing. Highly reccomend everyone to come here. Extremely beginner friendly and had great slopes, lifts, and lots of staff happy to help. Was super safe and so many places to eat and drink. Pretty affordable too and not too long of a drive from Oslo after renting a car there. Only went for one day but was amazing and wish I had more time. Definitely want to do skiing again and return to this place. Lots of options for accomodation too.

We love this place and keep going back,. Great variety of slopes for all ages and abilities. Our kids have learned to ski with under sixes getting free ski lessons in early season. Its super fun for families.

Our family visit Trysil year on year, and love it. The consistency of snow, quality of runs, yet within a family sized resort where you can get your bearings easily makes this a great choice. For quiet slopes, the second week in January is so much quieter than the Christmas or New Year week. Recommend a coffee and waffle at Knetsettra!

The resort was amazing for children. Great night skiing, great ski parks and the lifts and runs were lovely and quiet. The only downside was the price, and the lack of black runs

Great place good snow quiet and fun runs for everyone short queues and good food Apres is ok too lots to do on a night too!!

Great resort for families very quiet compared to Europe, largest resort in Norway guaranteed snow which is a the main draw. Not much in terms of night life or restaurants and all rather expensive but highly recommended for families

A great resort for families if you have you children. Its a good size for 1 week skiing. It looks like there are some good off piste runs, if you have the right conditions. The apres ski is quiet but suited for families.

Large enough to have varied terrain but small enough not to be intimidating for lesser able family members

Very quite nice resort. Quite a lot of snow considering it's not very high. however food and drinks are very expensive as is the rest of norway so no suprised there. accommodation is very convenient and accessible.

Slopes are very quiet during the week and whilst a bit busier at the weekends it's not more than a 5min queue for the popular lifts. Runs are a mix of easy to intermediate and easy to ski flat out. A few black runs that can be challenging when icy but only one true double black on the mountain. The skiing is usually superb with lots of choice on three sides of the mountain, but can cut up a bit in the afternoon if the weather is warmer at the end of season. Nightlife is pretty limited but there are a few pubs but prices are just about manageable. Hotels and chalet accommodation is really good and plenty ski buses for those not on ski-out locations. If you want to ski non stop all day and aren't looking for double black runs and are happy to mix some blacks and reds with the odd blue ones as you move around the mountain you won't be disappointed. If you want lots of Apres Ski then perhaps not the best choice for you. Very family friendly.

The resort is a beautiful mountainous location with great views out, there are so many slopes for everyone, from tree lining on some to mogul fields and snow parks. It is great for families and has lots of areas for a good dining experience and/or apres ski. The slopes are not too busy, the only busy lifts are the main 2 from the bottom to the middle and from the middle to the top of the mountain which is expected for a resort although the queue times for them, even in the mornings, is reasonably sharp compared to other places

Norway! Snow in December through to April. Trysil is bigger than you think and great ski school for my daughter. Night skiing is limited, and its cold however the snow quality and piste is excellent quality and I recommend you give it a go as an alternative.

The Trysil Mountain (locally known as Trysilfjellet) at 1100 metres above mean sea level, is the largest ski resort in Norway. With 29 lifts and 70km of groomed pistes spread across 65 courses, it compares to family-friendly destinations like Whistler in Canada (albeit smaller), Vail in Colorado USA, and Niseko in Japan.

The coach service «Trysil Express» connects Trysil to Oslo and the international Gardermoen Airport (OSL).

In recent years, Trysil has upgraded and opened its own nearby airport dedicated to ski tourists with connections from London.

Locally, a ski bus provides connections between the mountain and the town centre, linking the resort to nearby amenities.

Snow is reliable from December to March with the season stretching to April, ending in a festival called Trysilsmellen. Conditions are generally consistent for skiers and snowboarders throughout the winter months.

The ski resort contains a range of shops, restaurants, and equipment hire facilities. varied accommodation options are available with plenty of ski-in/ski-out hotels, cabins/lodges and apartments available.

A competition-standard terrain park caters to boarders and skiers looking to entertain pipes, jumps, and rails. Focused on groomed pistes the resort lacks any significant freeriding or off-piste opportunities but tree-runs are frequent between the pistes.

The après-ski scene here is amazing! Live music is rife and fun, and an inclusive atmosphere means it suits all ages prepared to dance and drink with their boots still attached. Beware though, drinks can be expensive, as is common across Scandinavia.

Looking to learn or get better? Trysil has an abundant offering of ski and snowboard schools teaching in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, English, German, and French.

Trysil offers an accessible and fun destination that is guaranteed to entertain anyone of any age who is looking for a snow sure resort experience.
