The mountain resort Norefjell Ski & Spa, situated amid dazzling mountains within a two-hour drive from Norway’s capital Oslo, invites its guests to enjoy the diversity of nature in a relaxing environment focused on wellbeing, with activities such as skiing, crisp hikes and spa. “Our value and mission are all about great experiences outside in nature and inside in a relaxing atmosphere. We offer something for everyone – all year round,” says general manager at Norefjell Ski & Spa, Sjur Aalvik. 100 | Issue 130 | November 2019
In the winter, the area turns into a playground for skiers, where one can put on the ski boots inside the hotel, and slide onto the slopes just outside the hotel door. “Norefjell has slopes in every category, suitable for all ages and levels, from first-time skiers to the toughest ones out there seeking to push their limits,” Aavik adds.
Nature and leisure The resort offers an unbeatable combination of nature and fresh mountain air
with leisure and comfort in the Norwegian countryside. How about coming in from a cold day on the slopes, to then heat yourself in a warm sauna or an outdoor Jacuzzi with views over the mountains and a cold drink in your hand? “The spa is a department devoted to relaxation with saunas, pools, heated bubble baths indoors and outdoors, and various treatments. Our aim is for our guests to find peace,” Aalvik says. The spa facilities are dedicated to adults only, but the premises offer wellness for all ages, with a swimming pool and saunas open for the whole family, old and young. And for those who aren’t that into only relaxing, an indoor climbing wall, playrooms, and other activities might spark more interest.
