Skeikampen ski area, Norway
|
| | This ski hill has a rather small variety of ski runs and sufficient ski lifts to serve them all. There are 9 different ski lifts here, and they are perfectly kept up and operated by welcoming people. Skeikampen is a regular size ski mountain having a roughly average height difference if compared to other Northern Europe ski areas. This ski mountain has a much higher than average percentage of black and red slopes and a much lower than average percentage of green and blue slopes. The 1,059 feet of drop from top to |
|
bottom is relatively okay; Skeikampen makes the most of it all. Snowboarding and skiing in this part of Norway is a wonderful thing to do the whole winter season. All the 17 runs here are brilliant. Getting a little bit of pleasant exercise and a chance to spend
| | some time in nature attract folks from far and near. Having the skiing land being 2,513 acres you will never lack ski terrain. It's always cool to ski here with plenty of black and red runs. The snowy peaks of Norway are a splendid site for snowboarding or skiing. The charming landscape of the Norway hills and fabulous ski trails have ski people coming from far and wide. The ski trails at Skeikampen can become definitely crazy; so do assess your bindings. The best piece of information on this resort is of course the trailmap | |
