Geilo offers a large selection of activities both summer, autumn and winter - spring is so short here that we do not have an own section for this season. In winter, of course, skiing is the most important thing and Geilo is one of the best places in Norway for both cross- country and alpine skiing. Geilo has been awarded Norway's best ski resort during the World Ski Awards for two years in a row. In addition, there are a number of players who arrange winter activities such as snowshoeing, snowmobiling, sledding, ice fishing and much more. In the summer, Geilo turns into a hike and bike eldorado. For cycling enthusiasts there is a large selection of marked bike paths. You can ride downhill on various trails in the ski resort in Vestlia, here are also pump tracks and "Skurfen". If you just want a flat and quiet bike ride, the route at the gravel roads around Lake Ustedalsfjorden is perfect. For hikers, the selection is just as good. The Sherpa stairs up on Hallingskarvet are the most popular, but there are a number of beautifully marked walks from Geilo, Tuva and Prestholtseter. About half an hour away on Dagali, you can go rafting and go-carting. If you drive an hour west - over Hardangervdda - you will come to the fantastic Vøringsfossen waterfall which can be explored from the new bridges and viewing platforms. Here we present a number of videos that show some of what is possible to do. Click on the pictures below to watch video from the relevant place (the videos open in YouTube)

Hike suggestion: Prestholt-Tuftelia Geilo has many beautiful mountain trails and this is one of the best. You can either start at Tuftelia, 4 km west of Geilo and take a round trip or start a bit more east of Prestholt at the foot of Hallingskarvet and just walk down to Tuftelia. You meet both deserted mountain landscapes, rivers and waterfalls, steep gorges and forests on your way, with some fantastic viewpoints over Geilo and Ustedalen.

Hallingskarvet & Prestholtrunden A half-hour drive up in the mountain behind the ski resort you will find Prestholtseter. This is the starting point for a beautiful hike to the top of Hallingskarvet. Sherpas from Nepal have made a stone trail all the way up to Prestholtskaret at 1600 meters, which makes it easy for everyone to climb the mountain. From here you can continue on Prestholdrunden, which ends back at Prestholtseter
