Weekend trip in Norway

When many people search for a weekend trip in Norway, Geilo is a natural choice. Here you get a real high mountain atmosphere combined with modern facilities and activities throughout the year.

Winter is known for family-friendly ski slopes, cross-country skiing and ski-in/ski-out accommodation. In the summer, the mountain transforms into a paradise for cycling, hiking and nature experiences. Autumn offers fresh air, calm days and beautiful autumn colours in the mountains.

Weekend trip with your partner

A weekend trip with your partner in Geilo is about slowing down and enjoying time together in beautiful surroundings. Choose a cozy apartment with mountain views or a cabin close to nature, and enjoy quiet mornings, good meals and fresh mountain air.

In winter, you can start the day on the ski slope before ending the evening in front of the fireplace. In summer and autumn, Geilo is perfect for mountain hikes, bike rides and long evenings out in nature.

For couples, the following are particularly suitable:

• Apartments at Kikut with ski-in/ski-out

The modern apartments and cabins at Kikut are close to both alpine slopes and cross-country skiing, while the center of Geilo is only a short drive away.

Weekend trip with children

Geilo is a popular destination for families who want an active and easy weekend trip with children. Here you will find activities for both young and old throughout the year.

In winter, skiing, sledding and playing in the snow are in focus, while summer is perfect for cycling, climbing parks and short mountain hikes. Many families choose a cabin or apartment because it provides more space, flexibility and the opportunity to cook their own meals.

Weekend trip with young children
