Overview

The name Forest Cabins says it all – these cabins are as traditional as it gets, made of wood and tucked among the trees in the quieter Geilolia part of the resort. It's an easy walk to the lifts, ski school and kindergarten for the little ones, and you can hop on the free bus to get to the main village and the rest of the slopes on the Geilo side.

Choose from a range of cabins for up to six, 10 or even 12 people – so that's the whole family or group of pals sorted. And each one has everything you need for a comfy stay, from the well-stocked kitchen to the living area with fireplace. Then there are some extra Nordic touches, like some apartments featuring a private sauna where you can unwind the local way.

Each evening, gather to cook up some dinner and then play games or just chat about your day. And if you fancy mixing things up, you can head to the nearby Vestlia Resort and pay a little extra to use the pools and spa, or stroll into the village to check out the bars and restaurants.

About Geilo

On the train line from Bergen to Oslo, Geilo is a quiet resort that is best suited to families and cross-country skiers. In fact, 'langlaufers' have hundreds of kilometres of tracks, as Geilo is one of the biggest centres in Norway. For downhill skiers there are 39 runs to chose from most of which cater for beginners and intermediates. There is excellent childcare and instruction and the resort facilities are all within a short distance.

Overall, Geilo is a small resort more geared towards cross-country than downhill skiing. It offers limited pistes, with a quiet and unrushed atmosphere, but not really a place for dedicated skiers.
