Situated around 900m above sea level on the southern edge of the Valdresflye plateau, Beito enjoys long, snow-sure winters that typically last from November through to May. Its alpine area may be compact but it’s perfectly suited to families and beginner-to-intermediate skiers, with gentle green runs, fun terrain parks, toboggan slopes, and even floodlit night skiing.
Whether you’re introducing little ones to the snow or seeking your own Nordic adventure, this welcoming resort offers a blend of charm, accessibility, and mountain magic.
Beito's wide, confidence-building green and blue runs are ideal for mastering technique, and for those ready to push a little further, there are a few steeper red runs, plus a fun park with a half-pipe, jumps, rails, and boxes for budding freestylers.
The resort’s excellent lift system connects both sides of the valley, so you can mix your day between cruising wide blues and gliding down tree-lined reds. A dedicated nursery slope area makes learning easy, especially with the support of Beito's friendly ski school instructors.
Off the alpine slopes, Beito is a true Nordic skiing paradise. Over 320 km of marked and meticulously maintained cross-country trails weave through serene valleys, open moorlands, and into the breathtaking Jotunheimen National Park. With routes ranging from gentle loops to challenging day tours, it’s an experience that showcases Norway’s winter wilderness at its best.
