Norwegian Ski & Snowboard Holidays

If you're looking for a fully inclusive Norwegian ski resort, one that has all the amenities within walking distance of your hotel or chalet, you should choose Geilo (pronounced Yigh-low) , the most complete ski and mountain resort in Norway.

if you are passionate about winter snow sports and prefer to spend your time skiing and snowboarding rather than queuing then you can get more action packed into a few days on one of our skiing holidays in Geilo than a full week in other destinations. And if you've got young children or teenagers who are not old enough to participate in the apres-ski scene then Geilo, with lots of exciting alternatives for all age groups, is the place for your family skiing holiday from Ireland!

Geilo is one of only five villages in Norway to have the coveted status of National Park Village. Its location could hardly be improved for winter sport enthusiasts. The valley itself is perfect for downhill skiing and snow park activities; cable cars take visitors up to the Hardangervidda, Europe's largest mountain plateau, with its many kilometres of cross-country trails. The resort's setting - amidst immense yet tranquil mountains - makes skiing in Geilo a beautiful, exotic and very memorable experience.

As a true ski resort, Geilo is comparable to any European alpine destination in terms of size, infrastructure, service levels and facilities. It's the place where many Norwegian winter sports professionals in such sports as biathlon, alpine skiing, snowboard and cross-country, come to train.

Project Travel can arrange a short-break or longer winter sports holiday for you in Geilo to include flights, transfers and accommodation. We can also arrange equipment hire. We have selected a range of accommodations to suit all budgets including top class resorts, quality hotels, award winning self-catering cabins and apartments. Or give us a call on 01 2108391 and we'll create the best ski package to suit your needs.
