Hafjell - World Snowboard Guide

Navigation

This is Norway's famous resort if for know other reason other than it once hosted the winter Olympics. However, just because they flew the '5 rings', doesn't mean that its a good measure of what's on offer. What you get here is a narrow cluster of runs with an okay mixture of all ability terrain that includes a long black run from almost the top to the bottom.
