Beitostølen Reviews

Very suitable for families

Great X country skiing, and alpine at Raudalen. Also, ability to do back-country in Jotunheimen and randonee skiing to nearby peaks directly from the village - unique

• Raudale off-piste
• Slopes at Beitostølen very beginner oriented

Back againto Beitostolen from living in the UK, Amazing family resorts, great for kids, and beginners as well, very friendly staff which all speak english, small ski school size. Hardly any queues on the slopes at all and slopes superbly prepared. and taking about ski in out. 2 min walk from Gjestegaarden to the slopes. good quality rental skis and boots. lots of nice activities to do after skiing if like huskyrides, cross country skiing, horseriding and tubing.. we will be back again

• family friendly, superb slopes, amazing for kids, close to the apartments.

Excellent cross-country ski trails, with efficient grooming that can be followed on the Skioret website. The trails are quite challenging, with frequent restarts and significant bumps. Good elevation changes, few flat sections. The area is vast, but it's difficult to stray from the usual loops, as venturing towards Yddin or even Rogne requires a very good level of fitness.

• Beautiful cross-country ski trails, very well prepared
• Exposed to the wind

Vi har været her i uge 1. Hele tiden problemer med lifterne, og lukkede lifter. Selvom lifterne skulle være åbent 10-15:30 åbnede de typisk først kl 10:15 el. senere. Der er eksempelvis ikke puder langs stolperne ved tallerkenliftene, og flere af lifterne drypper olie. Ok hvis man er helt begynder men ikke noget at råbe hurra over. Det skal desuden bemærkes at stoleliften ved “Raudalen” er lukket.

En mysig by som jag besökt sedan mitten på 70-talet åtskilliga gånger. Det har byggts många nya bäddar, men det ynkligt lilla lift systemet är i stort sätt oförändrat, här behövs satsas stort om ortens populäritet skall fortsätta.

• Mysig by med nära till allt
• Antalet liftar, backar har varit desamma i årtionden!

We (mum,dad and two teenage boys) first went to Beitostolen in January 2016 then feb 2017 skiing and also in the summer of 2017. The town is stunning in winter and summer with excellent restaurants, cafes, super markets. We have stayed in the the bergo cabins and the hovis and found them excellent you can also go swimming in the Radisson blu hotel. The locals are helpful and friendly. The skiing is lovely with good slopes, plenty of snow and there is no queuing at the lifts. Beito-aktiv have great activities to pick from and I would highly recommend. We are heading back in feb 2018 and so far they have had plenty of snow. If you want to get a good idea of the slopes and resort check out the Twoplustwocrew on youtube its worth a view and helped us choose the resort.

• Family friendly, great snow excellent activities.
• none

excellent beginners resort with great instructors.

• even though the resort was full and the car park was full, the longest wait for the lift was 10 minutes at the very most.
• none

We stayed over the Christmas break at the Radisson blu in Beitostolen. Second time we have visited this resort, we came back because we loved the family friendly feel of this resort. Lots to do as well as skiing for that complete winter holiday, we enjoyed ice fishing an evening meal fireside in a Tepee, airboarding (sliding down the slopes on a inflatable board). The centre of the resort is compact and our hotel was under 100m to the lifts and shops. By the second day our kids 10 & 13 were out skiing by themselves (most of the ruins end up straight outside the hotel) We were half board and the food was excellent, it was a set menu and there was a kids option. If your after 100s of miles of hard core runs and thumping discos this isn't the place for you. But if you have a family learning to ski or just wanting a winter experience think you will like this place. The runs are not miles and miles long but on the other hand we didn't have to stand in lines at all! There are red & black runs as well as some off piste through the trees stuff at nearby Raudalen free bus over and lift pass same as Beitostolen side) We made loads of vlogs if you would like to see what it's like google twoplustwocrew Beitostolen. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlgODIWGuQHGcf4T0Wll8jyGmwrHoQupN
