Hafjell for families


Hafjell’s two children areas, on the bottom of the resort and to the top of the Gondola - Mosetertoppen, are great for children of all levels and beginners of all ages. The bottom area is the meeting point of the ski school and is the very best place for beginners to practice their skiing. But do not be afraid of taking the gondola to the top, because beginners are also welcome here in ”Frontyard for kids” – our most successful children’s area with small jumps and other park elements for children. The sheltered moving carpet will take you up again, without the hassles of the ski lift. When the children are getting more experienced, they can try the ski lift and steeper slope connected to Frontyard.
