Kvitfjell Alpinanlegg is an alpine resort located in Fåvang in
Ringebu municipality approx. 45 minutes drive from Lillehammer.
During the Winter Olympics in 1994, the competitions in downhill and
super-g for ladies and men were held in the facility.
Kvitfjell Alpinanlegg consists of three interconnected parts with a
family-friendly area on Kvitfjell West side and one on Varden. At
Kvitfjell East (often referred to as the Intermediate Station) there
are the World Cup slopes and other challenging slopes.
The
Kvitfjell facility is today owned by Alpinco, which also owns
Hafjell Alpinsenter. Hafjell and Kvitfjell are connected with a free
ski bus that takes approx. 30 minutes and together they form
Norway's largest ski destination with a total of 75 km of slopes
(same lift pass).
The ski resort has 33 slopes and there are
14 lifts. In connection with the ski resort, there are also
cross-country trails with a total length of 600 km.
The ski
resort at Kvitfjell also cooperates with the resorts at Skeikampen,
Sjusjøen and Gålå, so that you can use the same ski pass in all 5
ski resorts. In total, this collaboration offers 55 lifts and 125
slopes. The alpine facility is connected to the cross-country trails
and trails are run from, among other places, the newly developed
side of Varden to Skeikampen and Gålå.
The annual World Cup
race is arranged at the beginning of March in Kvitfjell. Aksel Lund
Svindal won gold in the World Cup Super-G in Kvitfjell on March 3,
