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
