Getting There

Lots of ways to get there, and being just 150km from Oslo Airport, it is probably the closest decent sized ski resort in Norway for Foreigners.

By Car: It is about a 2.5 hr drive ... just simply follow the E6 North untill you reach Lillehammer ... keep following it for another 15km until you see a sign to Hafjell and voila! You are there!

By Bus: There are loads from Oslo and (I think) Gardemoen, Oslo Airport.

By Train: Catch train from Oslo Airport or Oslo Sentrum (Main train station) to Lillehammer and then catch a bus which departs fairly regullarly during the day

Accommodation

[edit]

On Mountain

Typically Norwegian Hytte's (cabins) which are self catering and privately owned. Awesome places to stay ... if you can find someone who has one (or work for a company that does!)

The Hafjell and Lillehammer region offers their guests a wide range of accommodation alternaitives. Choose between cosy cabins and modern hotels.

In Hafjell you can stay ski out/ski in or go for a more urban atmosphere in ine of the charming Lillehammer hotels where you can take the winter bus to and from the resort. The bus is a "green" as well as a comfortable way of getting to the ski centre, and it gives you an extra sense of holiday when yo can park the car for a few days.
