Family-Friendly Resorts & Activities Beyond the Slopes

Norway’s ski resorts are renowned for being exceptionally family-friendly, making them a top pick for groups with children or mixed abilities. Safe, gentle slopes, welcoming ski schools, and fun adventure zones are hallmarks of resorts like Geilo, Trysil, and Hemsedal.

  • Outstanding Ski Schools: English-speaking instructors, dedicated children’s areas, and playful beginner zones make learning to ski fun and relaxed for all ages.
  • Kids’ Activities: Snow playgrounds, treasure hunts, tobogganing slopes, and indoor play centers ensure children have as much fun off the piste as on it.
  • Family Après-ski: Enjoy horse-drawn sleigh rides, swimming pools, family-friendly restaurants, bowling, and storytelling by the fire—all designed to create magical winter memories.

Explore More: Norway is also a paradise for non-skiers. Try dog sledding, ice fishing, snowshoeing, cross-country Nordic trails, or set out to see the Northern Lights from your cozy mountain cabin. Many resorts host winter festivals and local cultural events, offering a truly unique Scandinavian experience.
