About
Norefjell is an alpine resort in Krødsherad, about 90 minutes northwest of Oslo, that hosted the downhill and giant slalom events of the 1952 Oslo Winter Olympics. It runs from a base near 180 meters to a top around 1,190 meters, a vertical of roughly 1,010 meters that is the largest in Scandinavia, served by 15 lifts. The long fall-line off the top makes it a draw for skiers wanting sustained descents close to the capital.
