On the slopes
Ski Norefjell for a really good mix of terrain with some stunning views as you come down the pistes. The resort has 11 lifts serving 23 slopes, with a total of 24kms of runs. These are divided well between the different grades - four green, nine blue, seven red, and three black and the longest run is a really good six kilometres. Cross-country skiers are particularly well-served, with over 120kms of marked cross-country trails, and endless off-piste trails through the mountains and woodlands. Skiing and snowboarding in Norway should not be discounted - especially if this is one of the resorts you consider.
