The Kvitfjell resort was designed by a former skiing champ making it one of the best designed and the most challenging if you are willing to take on the more intimidating trails.

Due to the fact artificial snow can cover up to 80% of the trails, the resort is one of the first resorts in Norway to open and close each year. There are 18 runs to choose from at the resort which are connected by seven lifts to help you move easily between slopes. Additionally you may want to try out the largest run of 3.5km on a snowboard if you are a boarding enthusiast or checkout the 400kms of cross country slopes.

Off the slopes

Due to the fact that the Kvitfjell ski resort is one of the most modern resorts in Norway the village has been heavily commercialized and caters to holiday guests well. Small enough to be charming and personal, those staying at the Kvitfjell ski resort many enjoy the many bars, clubs, and dance clubs that are open in the evenings. For those who want more winter excursion options to finish off a day on the slopes with sleigh rides, ice-fishing, snow rafting, and ice-climbing are just a few of the available choices.
