The Ski Resort
The ski area Vinterpark in Tryvann is located only about 20 minutes from the centre of the Norwegian metropolis Oslo. About ten kilometres of slopes run at an altitude of up to 531 metres at Holmenkollen, where the famous ski jump and a biathlon centre are also located. About half of the slopes, especially in the Toppsenteret area, are marked in blue and are therefore ideal for families and newcomers. In the Wyller area, on the other hand, there are some red and one black marked slope for more advanced skiers. Six ski lifts and three chair lifts transport winter sports enthusiasts to the top. There are also two Wonder Carpets that transport fleas to the ski slopes in comfort.
For freestylers there are two snow parks in the ski area with a total of about 30 rails, jumps and other elements. The "blue" park contains smaller obstacles for beginners. Here you can practice your first moves and tricks before you change to the more challenging "red" park. There are also two halfpipes, one with 4.2 meters and one with 7.2 meters height.
