School ski trips to Myrkdalen
Expect wide, open pistes with stunning views across Norway’s famous fjord region at Myrkdalen. With more snow than almost anywhere else in the continent, Myrkdalen is one of the most snow sure resorts in Europe, and an excellent choice for both early and late season.
While not large by Alps standards, the resort’s size mean all amenities and slopes are easily accessible. Myrkdalen is also just a two-hour transfer from Bergen, and 45 minutes from the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord – meaning your group have the additional option to enjoy the full extent of the beautiful Nordic fjords on their trip.
