First cross-country tracks in Geilo!

Already the 1st of November, Geilo opens the first cross-country slopes - with plenty of snow that has been stored during summer. The first tracks are ready and the facility is gradually being expanded so there is more and more kilometers to enjoy throughout the month. Dogs or sleds are not allowed, and at first there are no set classic tracks (only skate tracks).

Thanks to our local sponsors

Thanks to sponsorship contributions from Skue Sparebank and the Geilo Group and the snow storage from last winter, we have the tracks ready as early as November 1st at Geilo Stadium. Until Monday 3rd of November, everyone is free to dispose of the tracks as wished, in return for a small fee via Vipps. Otherwise, in the period 3rd - 16th of November, the slopes will be open for everyone during in the periods 12pm - 14pm and after 18.00pm daily. Otherwise the tracks are reserved for professional athletes and training groups.
