A brief overview
Friendly, safe and fun for beginners, improvers and families
would best describe Beitostolen. Situated at the edge of the Jotunheimen
National Park, Beitostolen enjoys a stunning setting. It offers gentle,
uncrowded slopes, a virtually queue-free lift system and an excellent snow
record from November through to May. More challenging slopes and some off-piste
tree skiing can be found at the nearby 'Alpine Centre' ski area, served by a
daily ski bus service. Getting around is easy with accommodation no more than
300m from the ski base and attractive village centre, where you can find a
surprising number of restaurants, bars and shops. Off the slopes, there is
plenty of choice with a daily programme of family-orientated activities
ensuring even the smallest of visitors have a real winter experience whether
it's mini-snowmobiling, dog sledding or a bombing down the slope on an
inflatable raft! Fun for beginners and improvers of all ages both on and off
the slopes epitomises what Beitostolen's all about.
