Travel info
UK citizens don’t need a visa for stays up to 90 days in Norway, but starting late 2026 they must apply online for an ETIAS waiver. A valid passport (issued <10 years ago, with 3 months post‑departure validity) is required.
Travel insurance isn’t compulsory but strongly recommended—essential for medical costs, repatriation, and skiing cover.
Norwegian ski resorts offer breathtaking scenery, reliable snow, and a relaxed atmosphere. Trysil and Hemsedal are the largest, with modern facilities and family-friendly terrain. Hidden gems include Myrkdalen, known for deep powder and fewer crowds, and Oppdal, offering varied slopes and a traditional alpine vibe. Norway’s resorts are less busy than in central Europe, with excellent cross-country trails alongside alpine runs. Add in the chance to see the Northern Lights, and Norway delivers a magical winter sports experience.
