Back in the 60s I learned to ski in Geilo. We used long wooden skis, leather boots, and elasticated safety bindings permanently attached to our skis. You never lost your skis when you fell over, but you were occasionally bashed on the head as you crashed to a stop. The equipment has improved, but Geilo still guarantees off-piste powder and deep-packed snow on your ski runs. You won't find ice or patchy slopes in the land that invented cross-country skiing.

Both alpine and cross country skiing in Geilo are brilliant. The slopes are generally much quieter than the Alps but just as good. Plenty of things to do aside from skiing and very child friendly.
Lots of accommodation ranging from youth hostels to hotels to suit all budgets.
