Geilo

by daarth - last update: Jan 20, 2003

Geilo is situated about halfway between Oslo and Bergen at the top end of the valley Hallingdal.
.
.
.
It is one of Norway’s best ski resorts with 18 lifts and a couple of hundred kilometres of cross-country tracks. Geilo is also a popular resort in the summer and offers many activities as hiking, fishing, rafting and mountain cycling.

I visit Geilo often as I have family living there.
I lived there once and used to use the ski-lifts a lot, but lately I prefere cross-country skiing.
