Guaranteed snow and incredible snow quality<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Skiing well into May is no problem in the north of Europe. In Norway&#8217;s beautiful Ofoten, for example, the Fagernessfjellet-Narvik ski area is still open in May. Here, winter sports enthusiasts have the opportunity to ski on 20 kilometres of slopes that are between 200 and 1,003 metres above sea level. If you think that&#8217;s too low, you&#8217;re wrong! Norway is also ideal for skiing at low altitudes. The ski area also offers magnificent views of the fjords and Narvik harbour. The ski resorts in Fjord Norway are the best known and most popular ski resorts in the country, as they are characterised by an enormous amount of snow and an excellent location. The R\u00f8ldal ski area, for example, receives an average of 12 metres of fresh snow per year. The resort has even been recognised as one of the snowiest resorts in Europe!<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-59219 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"In Norway, snow is guaranteed during the winter months.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"In Norway, snow is guaranteed during the winter months.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27174_shutterstock_1917447293-hsc-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"59219\">\u00a9 Henrik A.

Unique flair, lush forests and idyllic lakes<\/h2>\n<p>Winter sports enthusiasts will find a unique flair, for example, in Norway&#8217;s largest ski resort &#8211; Trysil. A single mountain, Trysilfjell, rises out of the hilly landscape. On three sides, 71 kilometres of pistes and 31 lifts cut through the forests that surround the mountain. The ski area is ideal for families in particular: children will find three areas with child-friendly slopes and lifts. The rest of the area has slopes for every ability level.<\/p>\n<p>The Lyngen Alps, which are part of the Scandinavian Mountains in northern Norway, are also a dream come true for nature lovers. Several mountains here stretch over 1,000 metres above sea level with fantastic views of shimmering blue fjords, islands and mountain peaks. There is also the opportunity to observe wild animals such as moose. There is also the option of being taken to the ski area by boat. A very special kind of skiing adventure!<\/p>\n<p>Early dusk is probably the time with the most beautiful flair. Fascinatingly bright colours appear in the sky, which everyone should see at least once.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-59221 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"Occasionally spotted in Norway's forests: Moose.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"Occasionally spotted in Norway's forests: Moose.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27178_shutterstock_2272682725-hsc-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"59221\">\u00a9 Piotr Krzeslak\/shutterstock.de<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">Occasionally spotted in Norway&#8217;s forests: Moose.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<h2 id=\"3-extensive-cross-country-ski-trail-network\">3. Extensive cross-country ski trail network<\/h2>\n<p>Cross-country skiing and winter are deeply rooted in Norwegian culture. Norway is the land of cross-country skiing with endless panoramic views. As soon as the first snow falls in November, Norwegians get their skis out of the cellar. The cross-country ski trail network has hundreds of kilometres of trails with breathtaking nature and snow experiences. The cross-country ski trails lead through the forests and across treeless plateaus and always offer a marvellous panorama.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous tour operators now recommend multi-day skiing and cross-country skiing tours in Norway. Highlights include the well-groomed, 215 km long Hallingdal trail and the traditional Peer Gynt trail near Geilo, as well as the 160 km long Troll trail through the Norwegian high mountains to the Olympic city of Lillehammer. For those who enjoy travelling without skis, Norway naturally also offers extensive hiking tours through the untouched and snow-covered winter wonderland.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-59222 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"Cross-country skiers also get their money's worth in Norway.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"Cross-country skiers also get their money's worth in Norway.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2014\/02\/RS27185_shutterstock_785658907-hsc-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"59222\">\u00a9 torstengrieger\/shutterstock.de<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">Cross-country skiers also get their money&#8217;s worth in Norway.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<h2 id=\"4-wide-range-of-leisure-activities\">4.

So here you can follow in the footsteps of the pros!<\/p>\n<p>Another highlight is the Hunderfossen Winter Park.

The park also offers snow rafting, horse-drawn sleigh rides and walks among the ice sculptures. What is special is that the park only opens its gates at sunset.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"5-x-games-venue:-oslo-winter-park-tryvann\">5.

It is home to Varingskollen Park, one of Norway&#8217;s largest fun parks, which extends over an area with around 10 kilometres of slopes and two chairlifts. In addition to jumps and obstacles, there are 2 halfpipes with lengths of 100 and 160 metres.
