Situated
half way between Oslo and Bergen, in the Hallingdal
Valley, is Geilo Ski Resort, easily accessible by
rail.
From Oslo enjoy a
beautiful train ride on the scenic Bergenbanen,
through the Hallingdal Valley to the vast mountain
plateau of the
Hardangervidda.
Geilo features 3 Snow
Parks, jumps of all degrees of difficulty, a
boarder cross run, which you
just HAVE TO
experience; fantastic kite
opportunities, nightlife...and Norway's best
Super pipe without question.
A heaven for
Snowboarders!
There are three Snow Parks at Geilo, offering jumps of
all degrees of difficulty and last but not least
- Norway's
wickedest Superpipe. Fugleleiken Snow Park is
situated on the western edge Geilosiden. The
park has two parallel
courses, with a 4-seater
chair lift. One of the runs consists of a
hip/quarter pipe, a 20-meter plateau jump and a
super pipe. The
Superpipe is the best in Norway
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-meter
flat rail, 4-metre flat rail (new), double down
rail (new).
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.
