Starting and finishing in the fascinating coastal city of Bergen, you'll travel by train past pristine fjords, frozen lakes and majestic mountains, stopping off at two of Norway's best resorts - Geilo and Voss.
Riding the Bergen railway is an adventure in itself, passing through breathtaking landscapes with more space to stretch out and move around than a usual ski transfer. Paired with Norway’s quieter, welcoming resorts, this ski holiday is ideal for anyone who prefers crowd-free terrain, pristine pistes, and amazing winter activities in a peaceful, awe-inspiring setting.
Surrounded by hills and fjords, Bergen is a beautiful place to begin and end your adventure. We recommend at least one night here to enjoy the UNESCO architecture and fabulous food.
Peaceful Geilo (~4 hours from Bergen) is your first stop and provides a brilliant warm-up for any rusty ski legs. The two adjacent ski areas excel in wide, immaculately groomed runs. And non-skiers are spoiled with a full range of winter activities and a tantalising choice of restaurants.
It's then 2 hours to Voss, which you'll have passed on the way to Geilo. The slopes here provide more of a challenge, but there's still terrain for all abilities. The gondola and hotel both sit on the train platform - you can't get more convenient than that!
This is a very customisable itinerary - it's easy to switch the stay in Voss for Myrkdalen (a great ski-in ski-out alternative). Whichever resort you choose, it’s possible to ski both with an away day. The resorts are linked by ski bus, and we can provide a lift pass that covers both areas for no additional charge (must be requested at time of booking). Plus, the fjords are right on your doorstep and easily accessible from either resort. Day trips to Flåm, including an electric fjord cruise and ride on the world-famous Flåm Railway, are possible from either resort. Or to enhance your itinerary further, you can opt for an overnight stay in the village of Flåm - the gateway to the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord.
You could even choose to travel the full length of the Bergen Railway, starting your trip in Oslo. We can adjust your itinerary for outbound flights to Oslo from London, Manchester or Edinburgh.
