Beitostolen was new to our Norwegian programme for Winter 2006/7. It lies on the edge of the beautiful Jotunheimen National Park and is a compact, friendly ski resort with a choice of accommodation situated around the ski base, literally metres away from the slopes and resort facilities. The ski area has an excellent snow record (from November to May) and offers gentle, uncrowded slopes ideally suited to beginners and families who’ll benefit from learning in a safe, confidence-building environment.

There is a good choice of other winter activities such as dog sledding and snowmobiling on offer, plus organised family-orientated activities everyday from 3pm so even the smallest family members can experience more than just skiing or snowboarding.

StarStarStarStarStar by Matt
The perfect place to learn, the ski school, and Jonas in particular were great, and had two complete beginners skiing in knee deep powder by day 5.
Jacek the rep did a brilliant job making sure the holiday ran smoothly, from sorting out the ski fitting to booking us on a husky sled trip!
While on the expensive side when in resort, eating and drinking out, its not too expensive in the supermarket, and when you do venture out Peppes Pizza is possibly the best in Europe! The large really is large, and more then enough for two people, including lunch the next day!
So if your looking to go somewhere to learn you can do alot worse than Beitostolen! Thanks Neilson for a great first ski holiday, I doubt it will be our last.
