Trysil Customer Reviews

The resort is absolutely fantastic for our family/group. We have a mix of experienced but not totally confident skiers, through to advanced intermediates with ten years + experience and everyone was catered for. The snow was lovely and the pistes in fantastic groomed condition. I noticed the pistes towards the end of the day were still mostly felt and free from big moguls we see in southern Europe, so those who like to carve will love this resort. The blacks runs are quick but easily doable but oddly enough some of our favourite runs were red and even some greens runs through the trees. There is plenty of choice for refreshments around the mountain and the fun parks are fantastic even with a pair of fifty year old knees. At our very first hot chocolate break after just 1 1/2 hours skiing the whole party agreed we had to come back to Trysil and I would not choose any other provider than Ski Safari.

Apres Ski was relaxed rather than intense, perfect for younger families. Skiing for beginners or early intermediates was very good and if you fall into these categories, particularly beginners, then stay at this hotel rather than at the main resort. Access to your green and blue slopes in 5 metres, yes 5 metres, from the ski locker door and only 20 metres from the main hotel entrance.......it couldn't be easier! The Ski Hire shop was attached to the locker rooms and so the farthest I walked with my skis in hand was about 10 metres. We had lots of snow, pistes were well prepared and there were virtually no queues except for the last lifts from the bottom of the valley at 4.30pm, when I might have queued for 10mins! If you are an advanced skier looking for excitement and challenge, then there may not be enough for you. If you are a strong intermediate skier then you can probably ski the whole mountain area. For beginners (in our case my wife who is quite risk averse and boys aged 6 and 9 who are not!), it was fantastic and I would certainly recommend it. Finally, we had private lessons which worked perfectly. A Swedish instructor (Jurgen) who it just the right tone with us all and spoke perfect english.

The skiing in Trysil was amazing with fantastic snow conditions, an amazing variety of pistes with very few people and on them considering it was half term. We were still exploring new runs and lifts on our last day. Our side of the resort (Radisson Blu Hotel) had everything we needed in terms of ski hire, ski school, supermarket and cafes etc. There were not as many apres ski or cafes on the mountain as we are used to with France and Austria but this did not deter from our enjoyment at all. We would recommend this resort to families, it was excellent and it felt safe and clean.
