Gaustablikk-Gaustatoppen reviews

Recommended!
good slopes, there is plenty of off-piste skiing and the opportunity to go up to the top with the funicular is super fun.
only negative is that the lift system had quite short opening hours, went in February 23 so maybe it has changed.

The best thing about gaustablikk was the view, as it was very nice in clear weather. If you go there, you should spend a little extra money in addition to the lift ticket to go to the gaustatoppen. It was a cool experience because you ride a small train up to the top through the mountain. The peak is at about 1800 meters above sea level, which is difficult to find anywhere in the Nordics. However, I would say it is most worth going up when the weather is clear and it has snowed so you get good riding on the way down. They had pretty good slopes, but if you want to get the longest pisted ride on pisted slopes, you need to take 3 lifts, of which only one is a chair lift. However, they have great opportunities to expand the mountain more as they do not use the height very well. If you like to tour, it is, however, a very good place in the Nordic region. They also maintain the quality of the slopes very well.

Gaustablikk is the perfect ski resort for those who want to travel to the place with all the possibilities. Here you can ski on nice slopes with a good mix of difficulty levels, teach the children to ski in the kids zone or take a peak ride on the Gaustatoppen. If you get tired of the downhill, you can take the gausta cable car to the top and have a coffee, rent the sauna on the lake or go for a ride on the cross-country skis. No matter what you are looking for in a ski resort, you can find it here!

Really good off-piste from Gaustatoppen. Even nice slope, can keep good speed all the way down.
Also comfortable on the stirrup skins.
When I've been there, it's always been good with snow. A little hard at the top, but usually becomes soft and nice quite quickly, after about 100 meters of altitude.
Is there accommodation on the way down when the off-piste enters the ski system, we could put on the trail skins directly outside our apartment and then go all the way back. 1000 meters of vertical drop off-piste with ski in/out, it's real luxury!!

Very, very long waiting times and very expensive. view ok

Gausta is a ski resort that has been sharpened properly in recent years. There are fantastic conditions here that are taken advantage of at a fast pace. The ski resort has a good selection for children's skiing, a heated cabin and free lift tickets for children under seven. There are steep pistes for the jaw-dropping, and the off-piste from the mighty Gaustatoppen is magical for those attracted by it. The slopes have been incredibly well prepared this year. There is plenty of off-piste skiing and it is tracked for miles with long tracks both on the flat and up on Calfjäll.
Gaustablikk högfjällhotell is newly renovated in very good taste and the food is fantastic. The ski resort is located high (1000m) and is snow-proof.
There is only one small grocery store up in Gausta, but down in the valley in Rjukan there are several large grocery stores. Gausta has the potential to become Scandinavia's best ski resort and now has a stable long-term owner. If the drop height from Gaustatoppen down to Rjukan is taken advantage of (1600m), the place will be unique in northern Europe.
You can already ride that stretch off-piste in the right conditions
44 miles from Gbg and 70 miles from Sthlm
Start recommendation, we are completely sold after 2 seasons!

Excellent lift system. Challenging and exciting top tours. Perfect cross-country trails.

Best place in "southern" Norway. Only 4 hours from Gothenburg, and you avoid all the sluggish traffic jams that occur if you choose Hemsedal / Gol / Geilo.
In addition, it's fine in the summer oxå, only gets better and better when you now expand bike trails and downhill :)

Very nice views that are more reminiscent of the Alps than southern Skanderna thanks to Gaustatoppen - a good summit trip for beginners. Incredibly nice cross-country skiing and very popular with children to be able to ride on a flat lake. Rented a cottage but tested dinner at the hotel - of course expensive but good food. Downhill skiing much like in Vemdalsskalet. Some lift queue week 8 and a lot of new houses - will probably be even tighter next year, so not sure if there are so many less people in week 8 than Trysil and Hemsedal. The lifts open at 09.30 - immediately bad. Maybe Norwegian children who go to the slopes every weekend are not in such a hurry?

Nice place. The skiing system's skiing is limited, but not the Gaustatoppen!
Also at the beginning of his career, not so well prepared and super commercialized, which is a big plus. Quite a burden on the tourist machines in general where it feels like a visit to Liseberg.
Lie MonteRosa maybe over it all.
