General Comments
Ustedalen Hotel was very good, would use it again.
Geilo is very quiet, no night life, but resort is good for beginner/intermediate skiing.
No queues when we where there.
Dont even consider going B&B in Geilo.
Food is too good to miss at the Ustedalen, and also the cost of eating out is expensive, and Geilo doesnt offer much.
There are no green slopes back to GeiloHesien resort, so if you are a beginner, then you have to ski over to Slaatta and get the bus/taxi back, but this is not too much of a problem. You can also ski at Vestlia, which does not have this issue.
