I’ve grown up visiting Geilo and skiing the beautiful slopes. Two sides to choose from with a wide variety of runs for different levels. Best hot chocolate ever tried on vestlia side. Couldn’t recommend more for a ski break

Great resort. Really friendly ski staff in all areas. The resort is split over two mountain sides and the Geilolia side contains most snow parks. Both sides have a good combination of runs and plenty to ski. Apres is great if limited outside of the main town. Lots is ski in ski out options for accommodation. Loved it
