Trysil reviews (Page 2)

We love Trysil. We live 2 hours away with Trysil so easy to go during the day. Unfortunately, I think it's a shame that they close so early in the day, from March to April you'd like to be able to go until 19 at least.
My absolute recommendation is to ignore all eateries and pack your own packed lunch in a backpack. It's terribly expensive and fairly useless food in Norway.

Well worth spending some extra driving time for, istf Sälen. Reasonable queues despite sports holiday week. Slightly more expensive lift pass. Good opportunities for off-piste skiing (no fresh snow when we were there though:-( ), well-groomed slopes, several parks with different degrees of difficulty, and child-friendly areas = the family will be happy to go back⭐️

Spotlessly clean place

I'm not a great skier, my fifth week as an adult. Went snowboarding for two weeks as a teenager in Åre and Austria but don't remember much so places I compare with are: Flumserberg and Wildhaus in Switzerland, Branäs, Säfsen, Valfjället and smaller places for day skiing like Ulricehamn and Isaberg. I spent seven days in Trysil in March and did not feel satisfied with the area. It took five days just to explore all sides of the whole mountain but there are still many slopes I have not skied. The lift queues were almost non-existent, like five minutes at most. Incredibly beautiful from the top in clear weather. Nicely designed lift system with comfortable, soft, heated seats in the chairlifts. Many challenging pistes for experienced skiers, eg Svart nerfart no. 30, have over 400 meters of drop in one run, which is basically alpine level. Even the more inexperienced skier can follow along to the top and take the green or blue piste down. In Trysil there is something for everyone.
Cold and windy weather can clearly impair the experience. We had four good days and three worse days, one of which was so bad that it was not possible to go at all due to poor visibility and snow drifts everywhere. But then you can take the opportunity to visit the spa or cozy up in the cabin.
Bad restaurants and rather boring food, upper price range compared to Sweden but have been to Switzerland and compared to that it is not so dangerous. Hamburger plate with fries SEK 250. Nice and helpful staff on the slopes but less friendly staff in the restaurants.
I want to go back to Trysil, of course.

+ varied range of pistes, suitable for everyone
+ well developed lift system, fun to explore
+ a mountain, can get everywhere on skis
+ incredibly beautiful in clear weather
+ nice and helpful staff on the slopes
+ six hours drive from Gothenburg

- may be impossible to ride in bad weather
- too few and boring restaurants, boring restaurant staff
- upper price range compared to Sweden

Large and varied ski area for both beginners and advanced skiers.

After 35 years on different slopes at different destinations, we LOVE Trysil !!! Variations in slopes, the amount and length of slopes, here you spend more time on the slopes than in the lift, the whole system is passable on skis = no difficult bus journeys in between, (although there are if you prefer). Here is everything for all skiers. We live in between Sweden and want to get to good and varied ski areas relatively quickly, would rather spend 2 days extra on the slopes than in the car ...

Always super cold, windy and genuine. Love it.
Have mostly been there and cycled but will definitely spend a few weekends there this winter when the Norwegian border finally opens.
Would rather go to Trysil than to Sälen (just as far) and I like to be able to stay in a luxurious hotel in the middle of the hill (Radison) They usually have great offers with lift passes included at the beginning and end of the season.

Best in the north!

+ Excellent slopes
+ State-of-the-art & fast lifts

If you can stand the price, I have a hard time finding a better ski resort in the Nordics.

Trysil is an excellent ski resort! Trysil offers riding for everyone, beginners, experienced, families, park skiers. There are plenty of slopes in all levels of difficulty. Trysil boasts a drop of close to 700 meters, and is a very large ski resort with great variety in the skiing offered. I have been to Trysil 3 times now and have had a nice experience every time. The system is large and designed so that the passability is very large. You can not really understand the shape of Trysil through the piste map, but must see it with your own eyes, this as the system as it were envelops the rock that has the shape of a cone.

VS Åre:
Trysil may not be as big and does not have exactly the same drop height as Åre, but what speaks in Trysil's advantage over Åre is that Trysil has a greater balance between the difficulty levels of the slopes than Åre, which has a predominance of red slopes, as well as that Trysil is easier to get around in. This as Trysil is very centered around a mountain, with lifts to the top from both sides. I would also argue that Trysil has shorter lift queues, except in the Tourist Center part of Trysil, which is equivalent to Åre. Trysil is also a closer destination for many. However, Trysil has a smaller and poorer range of cafes, restaurants and après-ski, which means that the places that are often crowded.

Disadvantages of Trysil: What is less good about Trysil is that it is in Norway, which makes it quite expensive. By that I mean things like coffee, food for the cottage, activities, the price skyrockets quite quickly. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the range of cafes and restaurants as well as afterskii is limited, which means that the places where there are usually full. It can also be quite windy in some parts of the mountain, but for the most part I think it is modest and the lifts rarely close due to weather conditions.

Tips on slopes:
41 (cozy forest skiing),
69 (a bit steep but cruel nonetheless),
28 (never icy!),
77 and 44 (long and beautiful hill),
75 (Go at your own risk! Definitely the steepest hill I have ridden. Almost always icy, and the steepest 45 degrees! But definitely a given ride for those who seek challenge, but as I said go at your own risk, people have died on the hill, check that it is open before you go! Attach two pictures I took of it, it is not very long, a bit like someone popped up a copy of Sälen's "Wall" in the middle of the system. It is not really possible to see the steepness but I promise that it feels when you ride it!)
