What SkiGeilo does
SkiGeilo operates a year-round alpine resort destination in Geilo, Norway, in the Hallingdal valley approximately 200 km from Oslo. The company is operated under the entity "Visit" and runs one of Norway's largest ski resorts, with 40+ ski runs and a ski season running from November to April. Its core offering bundles lift passes, ski school, equipment rental, and on-mountain childcare (Trollklubben), alongside a free ski-bus service connecting valley sides.
Beyond skiing, SkiGeilo runs a summer activity park (SkiGeilo Aktivitetspark) anchored by a 1,100-meter zipline, a 73-element climbing park with 10 ziplines, a 15-meter jumping tower, mountain bike rental (Geilo's largest), and a chairlift used for hiking and biking in summer. The property platform includes cabin and apartment rentals, an in-house rental-management service for third-party owners, and direct sale of holiday homes at Kikut (Kikut Alpin Lodge at 1,020 m and Kikut Chalet at 1,050 m), with 12 new luxury cabins at Kikut SkiFront launching 16 July 2026.
Revenue is generated across six streams: lift passes, accommodation rentals, activity rentals and services, food and beverage across eight on-mountain outlets, holiday-home sales (one-time license), and bundled packages offering minimum 20% discounts. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via the five-language skigeilo.no website (Norwegian, English, Swedish, German, Danish), with supplemental tour-operator channels for international visitors. The company employs 51-100 staff and holds Norway's Best Ski Resort 2025 title from World Ski Awards, with a 2026 nomination pending.
