On the slopes
Ski Valdres and you get lots of features for snowboarders and freestylers as there is a terrain park and a half pipe. With 30% of the slopes designated for beginners and 50% intermediate, this is a good place to learn, though it doesn't offer much for advanced skiers. It's also great for kids, with a designated children's ski lift and a free "magic carpet"/conveyor belt for little ones. So skiing and snowboarding in Norway should be one to consider next winter!
Off the slopes
You'll find some great ski in-ski out accommodations at the summit of the Valdres ski resort. You also get some good choices for lunch and dinner in restaurants around the resort. Ski rental is readily available, and there are also 150km (94 miles) of cross country ski trails in the area. Additional winter sports include ice skating and dog sledding.
