Skistar Lodge Trysil

Das Skifahren hier mit der Familie war großartig. Alles vor der Haustür. Spa zum Entspannen am Abend. Kein lautes Nachtleben, daher für junge Familien geeignet. Tolle Pisten für fortgeschrittene Skifahrer. Der Buffetservice bot eine gute Auswahl, das Layout musste jedoch verbessert werden, um Warteschlangen bewältigen zu können

Für den Preis ist die Qualität mittelmäßig, gutes Frühstück, mittelmäßiges Zimmer (auch von der Aufteilung her). Und nicht auf Gäste vorbereitet, die anreisen, bevor die Zimmer fertig sind, und nach dem Auschecken abreisen und trotzdem Wintersport betreiben möchten. Ungesicherter Gepäckraum und keine Umkleidemöglichkeiten außer den Toiletten. Und das eines Hotels neben den Pisten ...

Here are the positives: - Trysil is a great place for family skiing. Plenty of easy slopes for children to learn. Also lessons are 90 minutes and instructors a lot friendlier than the ESF experience - There is now a newish airport 40 mins away which makes travelling here easy (although not many flights to Scandinavian Mountains airport) - Hotel rooms are a good size - Food is generally good at a very pleasant restaurant - Ski hire very easy and you can ski in. Here are the negatives: - There is really very little to do outside skiing. The town is a 20 minute bus ride - bus goes on the hour - and when you get there, activities in town and restaurants were fully booked; - This is not a cheap holiday - and having to pay extra to use the pool at Skistar is a bit aggravating. Especially when it’s fully booked except for one (single) space on day we wanted - There are two other restaurants in the hotel but similar problem with lack of capacity - the pizzeria was fully booked for the first 4 days of our stay. - So whoever has built this large complex hasn’t really allowed for enough space for restaurants or anything else - eg no activities, films or shows. There is one games room with a single ping pong table and a couple of arcade games - which is a bit poor given the enormous size of the hotel; - No tea or cake in the afternoon. You need to pay for that too. - Big problems with communal areas not being cleaned. Ski room didn’t have a bin and rubbish was just building up day by day The real issue with Trysil is that while it’s a promising option for people who don’t want to go to the Alps there isn’t enough infrastructure in terms of restaurants on the slopes, restaurants in town, cinemas etc - and when it comes to skiing, most lifts are buttons or t bars. Which is fine except it can lead to long queues. Overall an interesting contrast to skiing in France and Austria. But quite an austere experience. Generally a 3.5/5. Not sure I would recommend it or come again

Excellent apartment in a great location, we picked this place for being ski in ski out, having a kitchen and three bedrooms. The apartment did not disappoint, spacious and well equipped with brilliant views. We hired a car from the airport so picking up shopping was no issue, it's about a 10 minute drive. The spa is lovely, I booked it with a 50% discount code sent to me about a month before our stay which made it better value. The ski shop was great, hire straight forward and lift passes easy to collect.
