Overview
The Vestlia's a luxurious hotel with fab facilities and food, just a snowball’s throw from the lifts and ski school. It's on the quieter Geilolia side of the resort, but it’s easy to jump on a shuttle bus to the village centre. The modern rooms are beautifully decorated with dark wood and warm colour, plus most of them have balconies, so you can make the most of the views of the valley and slopes. All over the hotel, your eyes are drawn to vintage ski posters and other eye-capturing artwork – including originals from famous Norwegian painters such as Edvard Munch and Kai Fjell.
When you finish on the slopes, you have a number of places you can relax and unwind. Just off the lobby is a huge indoor pool, kids’ pool, hot tub and waterslide that loops outside. Downstairs you can pay a little extra to use the adults-only spa, which has a second pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub and plunge pool, plus a range of treatments and massages. On top of that, you can pop to the bar for a drink, let the kids run wild in the huge indoor soft play area, or go for a few games in the bowling alley - just note this'll cost a bit more too.
Norwegians pride themselves on their food and the Vestlia is the perfect example, from the excellent spread at the breakfast buffet – you can even cook your own flower-shaped waffles – to the top-quality 3-course evening meals you'll get if you upgrade to half board.

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.
