Introduction

This tour will give you the flavor of Scandinavia’s best ski resorts. Here you will find history, excitement and fun in a charming and friendly environment. Your first destination is Norway´s oldest skiing resort, Geilo. Geilo offers unique charm and is considered by many the best ski resort in Scandinavia. It is located in wonderful natural surroundings, with varied terrain and skiing facilities of high international standard. Your second destination is Hemsedal. This is a place where fun meets extraordinary nature. Steep and family hills combine to form this beautiful mountain terrain that some call “The perfect ski resort”. The last ski resort on this flamboyant tour is the king of all mountains in Scandinavia, the Olympic Village Lillehammer. The atmosphere here hasn´t changed a bit since the Olympics in 1994 with its amazing slopes and beautiful surroundings. Geilo, Hemsedal, and Lillehammer’s primary goals are to entertain and satisfy families, cross-country skiers, snowboarders, alpinists and thrill seekers from all over the world.
