Savills Portugal

When it comes to finding the perfect ski home, Norway stands out as a top contender yet is often overlooked in favour of the Alps.

Skier numbers are increasing year-on-year and nine new direct flights from the UK to Norway are starting this winter season.

Here are just three reasons why Norway could be right for you:

1. World-class skiing

Norway is home to some of the best ski resorts in Europe, with Kvitfjell and Geilo leading the charge.

Kvitfjell, a former Olympic venue, hosts the most FIS downhill ski competitions each season, showcasing its well-groomed slopes and diverse terrain. With over 30 kilometres of runs suitable for all skill levels, it’s a dream destination for winter sports enthusiasts. The resort's reputation for excellent snow conditions and well-maintained slopes enhances its appeal.

Similarly, Geilo combines a vibrant ski culture with a family-friendly environment, making it a year-round destination. The resort features over 40 kilometres of downhill ski runs, supplemented by extensive cross-country trails. Beyond skiing, Geilo offers a range of activities including dog sledding, snowshoeing and ice fishing.

2. Embrace hygge

The Danish concept of hygge, which emphasises cosiness and comfort, is alive and well in Norway. Norwegian architecture often features traditional wooden cabins that embody this cosy spirit, creating an inviting atmosphere. The tranquil surroundings of the Norwegian wilderness also enhance the feeling of serenity, allowing you to unwind and recharge.

3. Natural beauty

Norway’s stunning landscapes provide a breathtaking backdrop for your ski home. From snow-capped mountains to pristine fjords, opportunities to enjoy and explore the great outdoors abound whether through skiing, hiking, or simply taking in the views.
