Developed originally for the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics, Kvitfjell is one of Norway's most prestigious and snow-sure ski resorts. While its fearsome downhill tracks are legendary on the FIS World Cup circuit, the resort has significantly expanded to become a highly versatile, multi-mountain destination.

Resort Details
In Detail
The Resort
The ski area spans three interconnected mountain sides: the original Main Side (Kvitfjell), the sun-drenched West Side (Kvitfjell Vest), and the newest addition, Varden. This layout offers an extraordinary contrast, allowing guests to carve down steep, icy Olympic pitches in the morning and enjoy gentle, rolling blue runs with the family in the afternoon. High-speed chairlifts and a modern gondola keep queues to an absolute minimum.
Beyond the skiing, Kvitfjell is celebrated for its culinary scene, offering some of the best mountain dining in Norway. With a high percentage of true ski-in/ski-out lodging, pristine grooming, and a remarkably long season that stretches from November to late April, it appeals equally to hardcore alpine enthusiasts and families seeking a relaxed, seamless holiday.
On the Mountain
Kvitfjell offers a rare blend of true world-class expert terrain and vast, gentle cruising slopes. The three mountain sides provide excellent variety, with meticulous grooming that makes carving a dream for intermediates. The resort is equipped with state-of-the-art snowmaking, ensuring highly reliable conditions from the very top down to the valley floor.
