WHY YOU SHOULD HEAD TO NORWAY’S WINTER WONDERLAND THIS YEAR
VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE
Skiers who’ve been heading to France for their winter holidays will often find their favourite resort isn’t so suitable when there are children in tow, while that quaint Austrian village might well have some fantastic nursery slopes, but if you’re on a short holiday with your black run-loving brother, will it really have enough terrain to satisfy your inner daredevil? Luckily, variety is the spice of life when it comes to winter holidays in Norway.
A TRUE WINTER WONDERLAND
Norway also takes the gold medal in the accommodation stakes. Forget about the concrete monstrosities springing up in other European ski resorts – in Norway, the majority of the accommodation is wooden, chalet-style apartment blocks or individual log cabins, ranging from cosy, one-bedroom affairs to larger units with huge living areas warmed by roaring log fires. Most of the accommodation in Norway is ski-in, ski-out, and there’s no trudging through the snow to get to the sauna either, because your hotel or cabin is likely to have its own. But no matter how wonderful your accommodation, it’s worth taking the time to sample Norway’s après-ski. From slope-side bars to award-winning restaurants specialising in traditional Norwegian fare (we recommend delicious røkt laks, or smoked salmon), the wide range of options means you’ll never go hungry. So why not head north this winter? I guarantee you’ll receive a warm welcome to Norway’s beautiful, action-packed winter wonderland.
