Trysil Customer Reviews

As a regular visitor to Canada we were a bit nervous about changing tactics and choosing Norway as our next ski fix. Well, we shouldn't have been..Trysil was a great resort, easy to get to, Skistar Lodge was in a magical position mid-mountain but with a great bus service if you wished to get around to all the other areas for dining in the evening. Everyone was super friendly and we felt the resort was great value (with the caveat that alcohol was pretty expensive so best to bring your own from the airport and stock up in the local supermarkets!) We had amazing snow which kept really well over the whole week. We will definitely return.

We were based in the Hoyfjellssenteret part of the resort, several km away from the main base area (Turistsenteret). This was great because it was much quieter with very short queues (we frequently had a chair to ourselves) and gave easy access to most of the Red runs in the resort. On the one day that we ventured down to the Turistsenteret, the queues were 10-15 minutes! This meant that, on powder days, the powder lasted all day! As Boarders, we really appreciated the slow and level dismount from the two chairs we used most (Toppekspressen and Skihytta Ekspress). On the downside, these chairs were closed on two days - one due to wind and the other to temperature (-31C!!). On these days, we found the large number of draglifts (which, as Boarders, we dislike intensely!!) somewhat restricting! Luckily the resort bus (free with Lift Pass) allowed access between the different parts of the resort.
