Norway’s emergence as a premier alpine destination represents a compelling alternative to traditional Alpine resorts, offering uncrowded slopes, snow-sure seasons from November through April, and breathtaking Nordic landscapes.
International accessibility through Oslo and Bergen airports, combined with a favorable Norwegian krone exchange rate, has positioned the country as an increasingly attractive investment opportunity for discerning property buyers seeking both winter sports excellence and a refreshing summer retreat from Southern Europe’s increasingly intense heat.
The Norwegian ski property market has experienced remarkable growth, with visitor numbers doubling since 2020 and foreign buyers now representing 38% of luxury cabin purchases. This surge reflects growing recognition of Norway’s unique combination of pristine natural beauty, world-class ski infrastructure, and properties that deliver significantly better value than comparable Alpine locations.
Savills Ski, with their extensive Nordic market expertise, guides international buyers through Norway’s most exclusive mountain properties.

Geilo: Norway’s Award-Winning Alpine Destination
Celebrated as Norway’s best family ski resort for six consecutive years, Geilo offers year-round recreation amid spectacular mountain scenery.
The Gateway to Nordic Excellence
Located 222 kilometers northwest of Oslo between the Hardangervidda and Hallingskarvet national parks, Geilo has attracted families since the railway’s arrival in 1909. The resort features 40 kilometers of alpine slopes, 550 kilometers of cross-country trails, and summer activities from hiking and biking to fishing and zip-lining.
More than NOK 500 million has gone into a new gondola, 700 residences, and hospitality upgrades. Ranked 20th in the Savills Ski Resilience Index, Geilo has seen prime property values climb 40% in five years, fueled by limited supply and its rising four-season appeal.
