Geilo has received international recognition!
In Condé Nast Traveler's prestigious Readers' Choice Awards 2025 , Geilo has been named one of Europe's 20 best ski destinations - as one of only two Norwegian places on the list, together with Hemsedal.
The annual award is based on votes from almost 200,000 readers of the renowned magazine Condé Nast Traveller, which is part of the media group behind Vogue, GQ and Vanity Fair, among others. Readers share their travel experiences and vote for their favorites in everything from hotels and cities to airlines, islands and ski destinations.
International attention for Norwegian mountain nature
Condé Nast Traveller describes the winners as destinations that deliver "beloved and cherished experiences" – places readers have really developed a relationship with. The fact that both Geilo and Hemsedal end up on the list shows that Norwegian mountain experiences are strong internationally, also in competition with well-known alpine destinations in Switzerland, Austria and France.
