Adding Norway provides more choice for people based in and around Birmingham, with the new route opening up the resorts of Gausta, Norefjell, Geilo and Beitostølen.

Great for beginners and families, Norway is home to wide, quiet slopes.

Cosy log cabins are dotted among forests and there are plenty of excellent off-slope activities such as ice fishing, snowmobiling and the chance to see the Northern Lights.

“We’re really proud to add this third weekly charter service from Birmingham, so that more UK travellers can experience our Norway Home of Skiing resorts,” said Trevor de Villiers, CEO of Norway Home of Skiing.

“This comes off the back of huge demand from Brits for Norwegian ski holidays thanks to our reliable snow cover and great value for money for ski-in, ski-out accommodation and lift passes.

“And as the ultimate winter wonderland holiday destination, there’s plenty to do beyond the slopes, making it a great choice for beginners and families.”

“Demand for Norway keeps climbing and customers love it as it’s filled with fun activities and snow-globe scenery,” said the Head of Crystal Ski Holidays, Scott Britton.

“Expanding choice and flexibility is key, and we can’t wait to welcome travellers next season to enjoy more unforgettable moments both on and off the slopes.”

PlanetSKI’s Simon Wilson will be in the resort of Gausta over Easter this winter so look out for his reports.
