Ski Holidays in Trysil Ski Resort, Norway
Norway's largest ski resort and perhaps Europe’s best-kept secret, Trysil ski resort is considered a skiing paradise by many and a haven from busy resorts elsewhere. The resort is renowned for its great snow conditions, long ski season, uncrowded well-groomed pistes, barely-there lift queues, and world-class ski instructors.
Exceptional skiing for all abilities
As with most Scandinavian ski resorts, Trysil has a long-guaranteed season which starts in December and runs through until the end of April - and sometimes even into May!
The resort consists of four main interconnecting ski areas, totalling an impressive 81km of downhill skiing spread over 69 well-groomed slopes. There's a fantastic choice of long, wide pistes perfect for beginners and those looking to improve their technique, whilst several snow parks and expertly maintained black slopes are a favourite with expert skiers looking for something more exhilarating!
Seamless access to the mountains
Traveling to this awe-inspiring region has never been easier or more convenient!
For ease and peace of mind when travelling as a family in school holiday weeks (February Half-Term and Easter), we include the following:
- Our exclusive direct flight from London Gatwick to Scandinavian Mountains Airport
- Pre-allocated seating

The Right Slopes for Me?
Beginners
Excellent: The fantastic thing about Trysil is the 28 green runs are spread across the mountain, meaning you have the opportunity to explore the whole area even if it’s your first week on the snow. The quiet slopes of Trysil include 3 children’s areas which have ideal conditions to learn to ski. The ski school provides instruction at an international standard and all instructors are English speaking.
Intermediate
Excellent: Intermediate skiers will find plenty to do across the 14 blue and 13 red runs offered in the resort. If you fancy a challenge, you can try your hand at the ski and boarder cross, speed tests, or slalom courses that are spread throughout the resort.
