Is Hafjell Norway’s hidden gem? We think it could be. Opened back in 1988 for the Winter Olympic games, Hafjell is just 15 minutes north of Lillehammer and a two hour drive from Oslo.
It may only be a modest 44km a slopes, but this resort is a family favourite thanks to its beginner-friendly blues. And with 37km of snow making facilities across the resort, you can feel confident with the conditions underfoot – or skis or board.
Why not try out some new tricks at the snow park? Or for the night owls among you, there’s 7km of night skiing to enjoy. From the summit you can also access 300km of prepared cross-country tracks.
Our score is based on resort data; it reflects current forecasts, not guaranteed snow quality, and applies to the ski area, not specific resorts. Conditions can change quickly.
