Using the efficient lift system access to all areas of the mountain will have you skiing all day. In a resort where lift queues are virtually unheard of you can ski non-stop or test your skills on pistes used in the 1994 Winter Olympics all on a great value lift pass. Hafjell is a great place for intermediates. The lack of lift queues, means your time on the slopes in maximised. The uncluttered slopes and wide pistes mean you have time and space to improve your technique... and have plenty of fun

Good: Hafjell offers a great opportunity for extreme off piste and with reliable snow conditions powder can be found throughout most of the season. We have many guests that have skied all over the world, and one of the things they comment on the most , is the space on piste that Norway can offer. If an advanced skiier wants to test their skills they usually like to go fast! This isn't always possible in many of the overcrowded resorts in Europe, but in Hafjell to be the only skier on a run some days is not unusual. The quality of the snow is likened to that of Canada and North america, the low temperatures especially in December and January result in a very special snow, cold, dry powder and lots of it! The Kjus race school has their home in Hafjell, and a specially designed slope, by the man himself is located here, with race schools from all over Europe coming to train. This slope is open to everybody to test their wit and technique. For those amongst you we suggest a ski away day to Kvitfjell, where you can test yourself on one of the most technical downhill courses on the World Cup circuit.

Children as well as adults need guidance on how to take the skiing to the next level. It is not always the best idea to be instructed by family and friends To sign up for a ski school lesson and hire a personal coach, together with the family or in a group, will increase the confidence and add more fun to the skiing. Use the first lesson to make new technical achievements or to change your style of skiing. Then you can spend the rest of the day to make drills and continue to focus on the right tecnique. At Hafjell Ski School you an sign up for basic as well as advanced courses. We teach all levels and all disciplines. If you have special requests on instructors or time, we recommend you to book at least 30 days before your day of arrival. Having finished one or more of our ski school courses, you will end up as a more conscious and focused skier. You will enjoy skiing even more, and master the hills in a better and safer way.

Warm yourself in front of the crackling fireplace or experience the exhilarated mood of the apres-ski!
