If you’re hoping to go further afield than
the usual western European resorts for your skiing holidays 2013 could be the year
for you to venture to Scandinavia. Family ski vacations in
Norway, for example, can provide your family with an entirely new experience,
with memories that will be etched on your mind forever.

Located in the valley of Hallingdal, the
municipal resort of Geilo is one of the largest ski resorts in Norway and
offers a ski season that runs roughly between November and April.
All of the ski hire centres offer free
helmet loan for children, adding a sense of security for parents letting go of
the reins for the first time. The abundance of green and blue runs in Geilolia
skisenter plus the three ski schools that operate there make it a perfect base
for your family ski holiday.
For the more adventurous, head over to
Slaatta for the red runs or take advantage of the 220km of cross country
trails, including 5km of floodlit terrain. Try your hand at “kiting” – a popular
winter sport involving skiing whilst attached to a parasail; the areas around
Geilo are rated amongst some of the best in the world for this recent craze.

With a resoundingly good reputation as
being an incredibly friendly ski resort, offering a warm welcome to people of
all ages, Geilo is charming, full of character and provides a fantastic
atmosphere for families.
If you’re travelling during the Christmas
holidays, be sure to participate in the search for Santa. Set off on a journey
by kicksledge to find where Santa spends his time between delivering all his
gifts. Relish in the joyful smiles on your young ones’ faces as they meet Santa
Claus himself.
It can be surprising when you realise that it is perfectly affordable to visit Scandinavian resorts for your winter holiday and a refreshing change to the normal tourist haunts.
