Why you should choose Trysil this winter

Long, wide and well-groomed slopes. Heated chairlifts, modern cabins, apartments and fantastic hotels with ski in and ski out. Trysil is Norway's largest ski resort, and perhaps also the ski resort with the biggest smiles? Trysil is Norway's largest ski resort, and an eldorado for everyone who loves skiing. Here are five good reasons why you should choose Trysil this winter:

1. The best skiing

Trysil has a good selection of varied slopes in three directions. From long, wide and challenging carving slopes in Høgegga, to kind, fun and varied cruising slopes at the Tourist Center and Høyfjellssenteret. No Norwegian resort can match the breadth of Trysil's fantastic ski offer.  New this year is Snow Park Trysil. The new park will have World Cup standard and is a first step in the further development of the ski area around the Tourist Center in Trysil.

Trysil has always invested a little extra in families with children and has put in a lot of work and love in the children's areas

In Trysil you will find three children's areas with simple lifts and conveyor belts, nice slopes with lots of fun elements the children like, and not least there is easy access, toilets, barbecue house, dining and warming rooms. Trysil has always invested a little extra in families with children and has put a lot of work and love into the children's areas.

3. World-class accommodation

Living well is part of the skiing experience. Trysil has a wide range of modern cabins, apartments and hotels, and almost all accommodation has ski in and ski out. Right on the slopes, you can stay at two of Norway's best ski hotels - Radisson Blu Resort Trysil on the south side, and SkiStar Lodge on the north side of the mountain. At Trysilfjell you can, for example, stay at the beautiful Trysil Alpine Lodge, right by the slopes at the Tourist Center.

In our pleasant center you also live well, here you will find hotels, bed & breakfast and camping. Explore the shops, enjoy a café or gallery, and feel free to end the day with dinner at one of the eateries. The ski bus runs regularly and transports both you and your skis straight to the slopes.

4. Magical experiences

Trysil offers lots of activities and adapted skiing experiences for the whole family. For the little ones, there are ski activities with the popular Valle in the children's areas almost every day. Valle is the snowman all the children love and want to meet when they are out skiing.

In Trysil there is also a large selection of activities without skis on your feet. Dog sledding and sleigh rides are great experiences for the whole family. Another tip is snowshoeing with a guide, and if you are really lucky, you will see the Northern Lights on the trip. If you want to try something truly exotic, we can recommend alpaca hiking or ice bathing in the Trysil river with a sauna afterwards. 

For those who enjoy cross-country skiing best, there are enormous opportunities. In and around Trysilfjellet there is a large trail network with opportunities for both short and long trips. See trail map on skisporet.no

5. Excellent food

Skiing requires energy, and good food is therefore important. In Trysil there are almost 30 restaurants in the ski resort. Here you will find varied menus with everything from short-traveled gourmet dishes to quick sandwiches and "today's".

If you want to cook the food yourself, that's also fine, around the facility there are adapted warming rooms and grill houses. The time when sausages and lazy hamburgers were the only thing you got in the ski resort is long gone. The food will also be part of the Trysil experience!
