Geilo has been welcoming skiers since 1890. Although its ski area and accommodation have certainly moved on with the times, the resort has managed to retain its charming, traditional character. We’ve made the Geilolia Ski Centre home to Neilson – its uncrowded slopes, excellent childcare and outstanding ski school make it the perfect choice for beginners, improvers and families.

I went to Geilo in January 1985 as a complete beginner. Geilolia is an ideal place to learn especially if you stay in the Forest Cabins or the resort hotel (Vestlia). That was my sixth Neilson holiday but obviously the first in the snow. I chose Neilson for snow because of brilliant holidays in Nidri, Porto Heli (twice) Finikounda and a Beach Plus in Corfu. I have nothing bad to say about Neilson except I am disapointed with many aspects of the "new" website which do not work very well.

Returned recently from our second week in Geilo. Last year was the last chance saloon, with my ski-avoiding partner ready to quit the slopes forever. Fortunately Geilo was absolutely the right medicine and we're set for many years more I hope. Our 2 children (3 and 5) loved the Snowman club and our son was ready to happily wave us goodbye and stay with Charman for good! Our daughter had a great time too in ski-school - the Geilolia ski instructors speak perfect English and are very patient (with big people too thankfully!). The Forest Cabins accommodation was fabulous - spacious, warm and well-appointed, and it was great to have a little of our own 'outside space' for snowman-building and the like. The friendly woman on reception loaned us sledges for the kids all week too - a big hit, and very handy for lugging tired little bodies about the place. The reps, especially Ian (who even managed to charm and amuse at 4.30am), were helpful, pleasant, and easy to get hold of if needed. The only downer was that 4.30am bus to the airport. It's a shame after such a relaxing and wonderful week to return to work shattered! And the flight times this year (and the transfer from Oslo) are actually worse! It's the only thing leaving our return trip in the balance. For a 'family friendly' top 10 resort, a 4.30 am check-in at Gatwick with small children seems very unfriendly.

This is a great place to learn. The forest chalets are very good, only a few meters walk from the ski centre. The instructors are very good and are able to cope with varying levels of skills within groups. The Neilson staff are very attentive and Chris our chalet host was a real star. Flight times do need to be looked at as they are not very UK friendly.
