Beitostølen is a perfect winter destination with excellent skiing for all levels. It offers both alpine slopes and extensive cross-country trails in beautiful mountain scenery. Families especially enjoy the child-friendly areas, ski schools, and wide range of winter activities.
The center is especially popular with families, beginners, and carving enthusiasts and, with its south-facing location at 1,100 meters above sea level, offers beautiful views of the mountains and the valley, as well as plenty of sunshine. Of the total 16 slopes, two are floodlit for evening skiing. There is also a fun park area with many activities at all difficulty levels – including features with sound installations, a speedometer, a mogul run, a cross-country trail, forest trails, and a Big Jump airbag.
At this unique west-facing center, you’ll find untouched and steep mountain slopes offering excitement and greater challenges such as red and black FIS-approved runs, mogul runs, and off-piste skiing. The center is often used for various competitions such as the Telemark World Championships and is also FIS-approved for slalom and giant slalom. In 2018, four FIS alpine races were held here for the first time. It is easy to reach by car, and parking is free. The same lift pass is used as at Beitostølen Ski Center.
Especially at Raudalen Alpine Center, there are many opportunities for magnificent off-piste experiences. The untouched mountain terrain in the area is perfect for ski tours for experienced skiers who want an unforgettable adventure right in the heart of Norway’s unique nature.
Beitostølen offers fantastic cross-country trails in the most beautiful snowy landscape under sparkling blue skies. The trails are prepared in various difficulty levels and lengths – in forest areas, in the mountains, and in the high mountains – and stretch over 320 km into the countryside. This is one of the reasons why cross-country skiing is so popular among both beginners and experienced skiers of all ages.
A truly special experience full of speed and excitement, where you slide down snow-covered slopes in a rafting boat. The speed varies depending on conditions and the weight of the boat. The snow rafting track is 450 meters long, and each boat can hold up to 8 people. The ride lasts 1–2 hours depending on weather conditions and the number of participants. A super fun activity beyond the ordinary.
The toboggan run at Beitostølen is a fun and exciting activity for the whole family. Speeding down the snowy track on a sled is a great way to enjoy winter beyond skiing, especially for children and beginners. With beautiful mountain surroundings and a safe, well-maintained run, it’s a perfect addition to any winter holiday in Beitostølen.
You can lend sledges for free, but you must have a lift pass.
Beitostølen also has a children’s area with its own lift, children’s slope, and play area – and the opportunity for a classic sled ride. Children are also always welcome at the ski school if they want to improve their skills on the slopes. So chances are the little ones will sleep very well at night after a long, fun day playing in the snow!
Beitostølen ski center offers a variety of well-groomed pistes for all levels, as well as snowboarding, telemark skiing and fun features like a snowboard park, toboggan run and interactive elements on some slopes.
