We thought the facilities at the Radisson Blu Trysil were fabulous. Whether you’re in the area to ski or to enjoy outdoor summer pursuits this is a hotel which gives you plenty of options in the evening. There’s something here for all ages from young children who will enjoy the Valle themed play area to teenagers who will love the bowling and pool which comes with a climbing wall as well as a surfing area. For adults there’s a spa with Finnish sauna and Turkish steam room. The hotel is linked to SkiStar who run all of the outdoor pursuits in the area and it’s the perfect partner meaning you can book everything from your ski passes to lessons in one easy go.

We stayed in one of the Radisson Blu’s family suites which had a double bedroom and a separate lounge area with a sofa bed and also a pull down bed for our oldest. It fitted our family of five perfectly. We loved the drying room for our clothes and there was plenty of storage space inside. It would have been nice to have had a bath but most ski resort hotels don’t so we weren’t expecting one.
Radisson Blu Trysil – the location
The Radisson Blu Resort Trysil is situated on the Turistsenteret side of the ski area which is perfect to give you easy access to the ski lessons which are an easy trip up the magic carpet. There’s a supermarket, pizza restaurant and cafe a couple of minutes walk up the hill. It’s a fantastic location providing real ski in / ski out advantages.

We loved this location, we felt we were in the heart of everything on offer in Trysil but it was also easy to get further afield. We loved the views at the back of the hotel across the slopes.

Hill Restaurant breakfast & dinner
The hotels main buffet restaurant is the Hill which is open for breakfast and for dinner for those on a half board basis. Their breakfast selection was good with plenty of pastries, cereals, fruits and hot items. They had a really good vegetarian and gluten free selection and while they could increase the juices on offer there was a smoothie or cold chocolate milk for those who fancied it.
La Piazza
The Radisson Blu’s Italian restaurant is a great little space for pizzas, pastas and other dishes. They have their own wood fired oven with pizzas being hand stretched and freshly made. This is a great place, well priced and with really tasty food.
