Trysil
Go for 3–5 nights if you ski or want a family winter holiday; otherwise skip — Trysil is a purpose-built resort, not a town with year-round sightseeing.
Trysil is Norway's largest ski resort, with 66 slopes and 31 lifts on three sides of the mountain. About 80% of visitors come from Sweden and Denmark because it's one of the closest big resorts to Stockholm. In summer the same lifts and trails become hiking and cycling terrain, but the village itself is small and built around the ski business. Most travellers come for 3–5 nights in winter; a summer visit is shorter unless you plan multi-day hikes or fishing.
