SNØ
Lørenskog (Oslo), Norway
Norway's indoor snow arena near Oslo pairs a proper 500 m alpine run and chairlift with a cross-country loop that partly hangs from the roof. It's one of the few indoor centres serious skiers and Nordic athletes both use for training.
Pros
- 500 m run with 80 m vertical and a steep top section
- Indoor cross-country trail as well as alpine runs
- Hotel next door with ski-in/ski-out
- 20 minutes from central Oslo
Cons
- Expensive, as everything in Norway
- Weekday opening hours are limited
- Less of a novelty for visitors who come in winter, when real mountains are close
