Geilo

Geilo School Ski Trips

Situated between Oslo and Bergen in the south, Geilo is the 2nd largest and oldest ski resort in Norway.

With some of the most reliable snow conditions in Europe, the slopes in Geilo are perfectly maintained…and amazingly quiet – a factor which contributed to it being named as Norway’s best resort in 2019.

With top rated ski schools, where all ski instructors speak fluent English, Geilo is one of the best resorts in the world for beginners, intermediates and families to enjoy a snow filled break.

But if you want a change from whizzing down one of the 39 runs, there’s more than 500km of cross country trails to explore. And when the skis come off, there are many other activities to try – from ice fishing and snowshoe safaris, to husky sledding and snowmobile treks.
