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.

As a ski resort Trysil is quite small, but there is still lots to do and the snow is amazing. It was very cold one day (-25) and the chair lifts closed, but you could still get around on the button and t-bar lifts. There are a few nice cafes on the mountains and bars in town - we like Skipuben best.

We love Trysil and this was our 3rd time skiing here. Trysil is small enough to feel personal with minimal queues for the lifts, but large enough to not have to repeat runs every day. Brilliant learner slopes, a great choice of long blues and red, and some scary blacks if that's your thing. Already looking forward to coming back.

This resort has almost everything, excellent slopes of all standards and variety to ski a diffent location every day. The village is a pleasant walk away if one fancies a break from the slopes. Here you can shop locally produced items or just take a coffee in small cosy shops and cafes. What doesn't the resort have? Hoards of would be anti social skiers tearing down the slopes trying to prove they are the next Olympic hopefuls.
