 GEILO SKI RESORT

 

NORWAY'S PREMIER WINTERSPORT DESTINATION

Geilo Ski resort Norway, winter activities

 

NEW ACTIVITIES



Kiting
Geilo is well known for kiting on snow in Norway. Kiting is very fast growing in popularity, in Norway also.
Kiting can be practiced everywhere there is snow and not too many obstacles, ex: trees. Frozen lakes, plateau and snow covered fields makes it excellent. We don’t need much more than a pair of skis or snowboard, helmet, harness (saddle) and a kite to have incredible fun! Chances to create a dependence are big and soon you will surprise yourself to check on weather reports for wind and hope it will blow again soon.
Kite skiing suits the whole family. If you are small and light or want to take it easy, it is possible to choose a smaller kite that creates less drag.
Tuesday, Saturday & Sunday, 10:00
Price: USD 215 per person

Enchanting mountain hike with snowshoes and head torch – silence and darkness
Come with us on a walk through the forest where we’ll have the opportunity to see tracks from hare, grouse, fox and maybe elk. Not to forget- the possibility of actually seeing these animals in real life. We’ll venture into the darkness with only the light from our head torch to show us the way. Through terrain undisturbed by skiers, we’ll maneuver around trees and through deep snow. We start by handing out snowshoes and head troches outside Taubanekroa – taking the lift to the top. A small introduction in walking with this kind of footwear will be given. The mountain walk lasts for about 1,5 hours, ending up at Slaatta Ski cafe where we’ll be served cocoa/coffee/tea and a muffin.
Arranged at any time by request, no minimum number of participants
