On the slopes
A small Norwegian resort, ski Nesbyen in Norway for an intimate ski holiday. Offering 5 ski lifts that cover all 11 pistes, you get a total piste length of around 12km. The vertical drop is 330 metres (1083 feet) which gears the runs towards the intermediates and advanced skiers, snowboarders love this resort and the terrain park you get in it which is massive. There's also some limited off-piste to enjoy too. As well as the downhill, there's 140km (88 miles) of cross-country ski trails.
Off the slopes
As you would expect from a small ski resort, Nesbyen offers some great bars and restaurants - but this is not a place to come for a rowdy and sophisticated nightlife. Traditional food and beers make it a superb place to eat well and chill out after your day on the piste. In addition, all the usual winter sports are available for those not on the piste like dog sledding, ice skating and toboganning.
