Where to Stay in Trysil

First-timers book Trysil because it's Norway's biggest resort and they want Scandinavian skiing. They book a cheap apartment at the base to keep costs down. Then reality hits: groceries cost double UK prices, they're cooking every meal to avoid £50 restaurant dinners, and their 'cheap' trip still costs £1200/person for the week. They're exhausted from constant self-catering and haven't experienced any Norwegian food culture. The mistake: extreme budget focus in an inherently expensive destination. They should've either: (a) accepted the costs and budgeted £1500-1800/person for a proper trip including some dining out, or (b) gone to Sweden/Finland instead (20-30% cheaper), or (c) chosen Alpine resorts where their budget goes further. Trysil is excellent but Norway is Norway — you can't budget your way to cheap. Either embrace the cost or choose a different country. Fighting Norwegian prices with constant self-catering makes for a miserable week.
