Going up in the chairlift (Vestlia side) opened up a lot of tracks. However be prepared for cafes to be closed and take plenty of food with you. Depending on conditions, routes can take five hours + to ski (Which could be challenging if you have a weak bladder)! A useful tip is that when you get to the top of the mountain via the chairlift, access to the cross county tracks are not immediately obvious. You need to ski straight down in front of you and then veer to the right (no sign). If it has snowed heavily overnight the loipe is not obvious. the Skisport.no app is really helpful. It shows you the tracks and where you are on them, which is reassuring with so few signs. The Hotel was fabulous, the food great and the staff very helpful (once we had got over the confusion of the lunch pack)
We found Bardola a very comfortable, traditional Norwegian style hotel with excellent access to cross country and downhill skiing. The pool and gym are very good, and the food was excellent. We are grateful that Inntravel responded extremely quickly to rearrange our homeward travel when the Norwegian government brought in COVID19 quarantine measures.
Brilliant breakfasts, tasty hotel-made bread and superb evening meals, very friendly and helpful staff, and a lovely pool and sauna to luxuriate in after a day's exertion.

Tried cross country but despite good instruction, I had too many falls. But snowshoeing, which is very unpopular in Geilo, was very good: just use an app like FATMAP to select your own routes with manageable gradient and do your own thing. To be safe you can keep ski lifts in sight to help navigation but you can also just use the cross country trails. Almost no skiers have the stamina to use the steep trails anyway (but easy with snowshoes). Done snowshoeing in many countries and rate Norway highly. We had our own but the shops in town sell snowshoes. Get a pair with heal lifters to make steeper ascents much easier.
The Bardola is an excellent traditional hotel with a great food selection for both adults and kids. The ski bus ride to Slaatta ski centre is only 5 mins - timely in the morning, but less reliable on the return in the afternoon, so we often took the pleasant 15 minute walk back to the hotel after skiing. The skiing instructors are great, and the three beginners in our family progressed very fast, with the two children experimenting with red runs by day 4. We liked the format of four relatively short lessons [1 hour 20 mins each], allowing lots of time for family practice. We did not use the cross country facilities. Weather was mixed, but the lower lifts at Slaatta stayed open even during two days of gales. We would go again.
Geilo is a scenic, low-key, ski destination that we truly enjoyed. The snow was excellent, the people were friendly and helfpul, and there was enough, but not too much, of everything. Highly recommended as a ski destination for families or others who are looking for a relaxed and enjoyable ski holiday.
