Outdoor Life Activities
As mentioned, Geilo is known for its won-
derful scenery. So why not experience it?
We don’t want a wheelchair to stop you.
Geilo has, therefore, created some nice spots
that you can easily access. One of these
spots is by the Cultural Church, west for the
swimming area. Here you can bring with
you hot dogs and grill them at the bonfire
area, and not least, enjoy the view. Another
spot is the Seimsbrua bridge, located by the
Holsfjorden lake in Hol. In Geilo, we want skiing and snowboarding
to be an option for everyone, no matter the
preconditions. Therefore, Geilo Ski School
at Slaatta offers a separate «Adaptive Pro-
gram» for the disabled who want to parti-
cipate in snow sports. Geilo Ski School has
profesionally trained instructors who will
give you confidense, proper equipment and
support. There is also an eventful activity
week for those with Downs Syndrome at
Geilo Ski Center. The week is packed with
activities for the whole family. Here you can
do downhill, sledding, test out dogsledding,
go bowling, and many more fun activities.
Eateries and Nightspots
Geilo has many different restaurants and
cafés. We recommend that you call ahead
and book a table. Many restaurants can be
packed with guests, which sometimes can
give challenges in regard to moving freely.
