One visit to Geilo will make you want to go back again and again.
‘You’ve come at a great time,’ our host Geir told us as we arrived in Geilo - a precious hidden gem in the mountains of Norway. ‘January is one of the best times of the year to visit.' We had spent the last three hours on a coach transfer from Oslo Airport - a journey which sounded daunting but was largely spent oohing and ahhing at the stunning scenery out the window. When we asked why January is such a good month to come to Geilo, Geir gestured towards the mountains opposite us.
Scattered across the resort, there are several mountainside restaurants, bars and cafes where skiers can warm up with a hot chocolate and cinnamon bun - or a hot meal and a beer if preferred - and rest their legs. We enjoyed one of the best lunches I’ve ever had at the Kikut Bistro, which is perfect for those looking for fine dining and a long wine list.
