skiScandinavia Traveller Reviews

We are a family of four and the children hadn't been skiing for about six years. We had perfect snow conditions and the Hemsedal apartment was really comfortable and spacious. Although it was a little way away we were lucky to get a locker so we didn't have to walk with our kit. The children just had the best holiday ever and definitely want to return next year. I was amazed at how quickly their skiing and confidence improved during the course of the week due to their ski school lessons. Thank you Ski Norway!

Our tour operator was really helpful and friendly and although she didn't stay in Hemsedal it was easy to contact her by e-mail

We had three glorious days of cross country ski-ing in Finland, There were loads of tracks to follow , ranging from the beginner tracks to advanced. The tracks started very close to the Apartment so it was easy to get to them- no queuing!Cross coutry ski ing is really fun- but energetic!- and you can stop to admire all the lovely scenery whilst you whizz along The equipment hire was straightforward and efficient. Again , no queuing. There were lots of other facilities available if you wanted to do downhill skiing or snow boarding. Children of all ages / abilities were also catered for. We went self catering , lovely clean, well equipped apartment, very central excellent choice of foods in the local supermarket. We didn't eat out but there were lots of restaurants , cafe's etc. there. We mostly had good weather whilst we were there which enabled us to enjoy the fabulous scenery, clear air and being outdoors. Although short, our time in Finland left us feeling rested, relaxed , restored and ready to face our daily lives again. Who knows how we would have felt if we'd been there longer!

My daughter and I wanted a five day break in Finland in order to go cross country skiing. We were restricted on when we could go due to her university commitments and our budget.To be honest I didn't think it was going to be possible I can't fault Scandinavian Travel Ltd for their knowledge, attentiveness, efficiency and for tailoring our holiday to fit our requirements perfectly and within budget. They went out of their way to ensure we had what we wanted and made really thoughtful,sensible suggestions such as ordering some groceries to be available in our apartment following our very late arrival . Very welcome. Matt's local knowledge was invaluable and all the services they had organised happened smoothly. As soon as finances allow we will be booking another holiday with Ski Lapland. My only hesitation in recommending them is a worry that they will become too big and lose that personal touch- other than that I can't fault them.

Family ski holiday with ski Noreay. Empty slopes, no waiting around for lifts! Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Childcare and ski school were amazing. Both our kids loved ski school. No more than 5 kids in the group and all the instructors were friendly. Ski in ski out accommodation. All at half term- couldn't have asked for more!

Really helpful and friendly

We enjoyed our holiday in Trysil - first time! Accommodations at Radisson Blu were great, food good, too. Plenty for the kids to do, too. The staff was welcoming and, despite very warm conditions at Christmas, the snow blowers were going strong and skiing was good.

The agent helped us decide on the best option for us and understood our goals. Felt that the tour company gave us ample support before the holiday and while we were there. We will be back. Thanks!

This was our second skiing holiday at Trysil with Ski-Norway. We stayed in the same hotel - Park Inn. This time we went at New Year and the snow conditions were not as good as the year before in February. However we had a great time. Our 3 kids had their own ski instructor who took them out each day from 9am - 12 noon. My husband and I had a ski guide from 9am to 11.45am. One of the best things about having the guide was going to the front of the queue at the lifts. You get a lot of runs this way! The hotel was excellent. We had a really large, quite luxurious apartment and did a mixture of self catering and hotel meals. The spa/pool facilities are included in the package and this is excellent as nothing beats bobbing around in an outdoor hot tub after skiing.

I think Ski Norway (Scandanavian Travel Ltd) is a good company for skiing in Norway. Telephone contact is easy. The staff seem to know what they're doing. They send reminders before you need to make a payment. On travel days it was easy to find the staff and on the mountain a rep was there every morning to ensure everyone was having a nice time. My daughter left her teddy in the bed when we checked out. The rep found it and posted it back to the UK at no charge.

First time in Norway. The resort and skiing at Trysil were unbelievable. I would love to go again. It was a super amazing holiday! Everyone should try a winter Norway holiday break.

The operator Ski-Norway was amazing, extremely helpful, courteous and couldn't do enough for us. I would definitely use them again. I am one happy customer.

I travelled with my 6 year old boy to Trysil in Norway for his first ski holiday. We stayed at the Park Inn Mountain Resort which is located on the mountain. The location was recommended by SkiNorway as good for families. It was great. We had scheduled flights and a reasonable transfer. Our room was brilliant and located easily for ski hire, ski lockers, and ski school on the doorstep. The SkiNorway staff were very efficient and the ski school was great fun for my son. The hotel was of a high standard with good facilities including an excellent pool, providing non-ski entertainment. The food was very good. All in all, it was an excellent holiday and we have rebooked for next year.

Great recommendation. Speedy and stress-free booking with a good personal service. Good resort staff made sure everything went smoothly. A pleasure to deal with.

We travelled to Trysil in Norway for Xmas and the New Year. On recommendation for or needs, we stayed at the Park Inn Resort on the mountain which was superb. Excellent suite of rooms, well located, with excellent spa and resort services. Our Ski-Norway Rep was fantastic and couldn't do enough to make sure we were ok. Excellent ski bus service into town and around the resorts. Only slight down side was the weather! To Ski-Norway's credit they did everything they could to mitigate the lack of snow which did curtail some of our outings. But we were offered alternatives. We'd definitely return to Scandinavia.

Extremely professional and excellent service from planning through to completion. Very friendly and helpful with advice and contingency planning. In resort our Rep was wonderful and knew all the answers to our many and varied questions. Would definitely recommend Ski-Norway to anyone travelling to Scandinavia.

1 week in Levi, Finland - so much more than just a ski holiday! Reindeer, husky drives, night time bobsleigh rides, Northern Lights, wonderful food, friendly people, cracking accommodation - and of course excellent skiing on perfectly manicured slopes.

We have traveled several times with SkiLapland - they have always been attentive, caring and helpful, ensuring that whatever we do they are on hand to assist if needed. We have recommended to several of our friends and will continue to do so!

The holiday itself was incredible and we would love to book again next year. We couldn't have asked for more for our first family ski holiday. We chose half board as we'd heard that Norway can be quite expensive. The hotel we stayed (Mountain Resort, Trysil) ticked all the boxes and with Ski Norway we had complimentary use of the spa and pool which was a huge bonus after a day on the slopes. The kids loved it. The skiing itself was great, ski in/ski out with plenty of good runs and good variety and quite often we'd be the only ones on the pistes. The area itself covered quite an extensive range. I personally felt the better skiing was on the other side of the mountain which was easy to get to via lifts etc but the childrens ski classes were on the hotel side. Our daughter(aged 7) was one of three in her class so by the end of the week was really quite competent, so much so I was able to take her out for a few hours on some good long runs. Our sons (aged 3) class again was also a small group. He took a few days to get into it but eventually he did and that was it. Next year he'll be all over it. Their lessons started at the hotel so no travelling involved which I think is great. Transfer to and from the hotel were a breeze. Great information handed out by the reps. We really couldn't fault anything about the trip. The price was comparable to going to the Alps, possibly even cheaper. We had guaranteed snow and absolutely no queues for the lifts. Perfect!

From our initial enquiry, right through to our booking and completion of the holiday everything was handled by Karen Nolan with the utmost professionalism. Nothing was too much and time was taken to explain every part of the holiday and what we could expect. Brilliant service.
