SNOW PARKS
Norway's best Superpipe
without question, a boardercross run, which you
just HAVE TO experience; fantastic kite
opportunities, nightlife....
Geilo has almost everything you need to make
your skiing holiday live up to expectations.
Whether you have never snowboarded before, have
some experience or are a diehard snowboarder,
you will always find something to suit you.
There are three snow parks at Geilo, jumps of
all degrees of difficulty and last but not least
- Norway's wickedest superpipe. The area at
Havsdalen is suitable for beginners, while the
areas at Fugleleiken and Geilolia Ski Center are
for those looking for greater challenges on
steeper slopes. We can also tempt you with new
rails and improved jumps.
 Fugleleiken
Snow Park
Fugleleiken Snow Park is situated on the western
edge Geilosiden. The park has two parallel
courses, with a 4-seater chair lift.
The park has been designed and created in
collaboration with the Snowboard department at
NTG. One of the runs consists of a hip / quarter
pipe, a 20-meter plateau jump and a super pipe.
The super pipe is without question Norway's best
with standard measurements of 5.5 meters in
height and 130 meters in length. It is reshaped
twice a week.
Geilo has been awarded the National Snowboard
Championship every second year because of this
pipe. A smaller pipe (3.5 meters in height) is
also planned this season at Fugleleiken, which
will make it possible to ride 2 pipes in one
run. The other run will be renewed this year. It
will consist of a line with 4 jumps, (10-15
meters), and a line with 6 rails (flat/down
rail, rainbow rail, battleship rail, 8-metre
flat rail, 4-metre flat rail (new), double down
rail (new) ).
Test
yourself on the big jump, fun box and border
cross, or try the country’s only super-pipe in
Norway’s best snowboard park. You can do a board
slide on the rail, and the Volkswagen beetle on
the slope is ready for a nose & tail bunk.
Snow Park - Geilolia Ski Center
Turn left when you get off the chair lift to
enter the park. The Snow Park at Geilolia Ski
Center is designed as a ”slope style”, with a
line consisting of many different elements. The
first National Snowboard Championships "slope
style" was held here in 2005, and all the
snowboarders from beginners to professionals
were delighted with the course.
New this year are a floodlit mogul run, big jump
and rail park.
The snow park starts with two jumps of 10-15
meters one after the other, then splits into two
runs. The run to the right is the "slope style",
which starts with two flat rails. Then come
three 10-15 meter jumps. The snow park concludes
with another 8-meter flat/down rail box.
The run to the left is the ”Boardercross” which
consists of 6 vertical dips made with the pipe
cutter. The Boarder cross is used during the
National Snowboard Championships and Norwegian
cup meetings, and is considered the fastest,
most challenging and best Boardercross run in
Norway. The run has the same finish as the slope
style.
The park has been designed and is maintained in
cooperation with NTG snowboard. Geilolia Ski
Center prepares the runs in the morning, so that
you will still enjoy a soft landing on cold
winter mornings.
Welcome to one of the best and hottest jib and
snowboard arenas in Norway!
Snow Park - Havsdalen
The snow park at Havsdalen is suitable for
beginners or those looking for a relatively easy
area to practice in. The park has 1 half pipe, 2
pipe rails, 1 fun box and 2 jumps on which you
can practice your skills.
