Tell us when your flight lands and we will send you straight to the people who sell it, with your time already filled in. We do not resell transport — you book it where it is cheapest, and we make sure you are looking at the right departure.

Morning departures out of Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh all land in Oslo before lunch. An evening flight saves nothing once you have paid for the taxi at the far end.

Norwegian train tickets go on sale about three months ahead. Book earlier than that and the journey planner will show the connection but not the fare.

Airport transfer

The Flyshuttle , run by Geilo Turbusser, goes direct from Oslo Airport to Geilo with one stop at Sokna, setting down at Geilo train station and at Vestlia. Winter season only. Book at least 14 days ahead — at the latest by the Thursday before you travel. It waits up to an hour for delayed flights.

By train

Geilo station is in the village , on the Bergen Line, with five to six departures each way per day. Oslo S to Geilo is 3 h 33 min on the F4; Bergen to Geilo is 2 h 59 min on the same train the other way; from Oslo Airport it is the Flytoget across to Oslo S and then F4, about 4 hours all in. There is no last leg — the free ski bus stops at the station and the lifts are a short walk. This is the one resort here where two different airports each give you a single train to the door , so you can shop for a cheap seat into either Oslo or Bergen.

By car

Parking

Eleven car parks, P1 to P11, with licence-plate recognition on entry. P5 Vestlia gives six free hours; P6 Geiloheisen is free 09:00–17:00 . Elsewhere it is roughly NOK 22 per started hour. A season permit for Havsdalen is NOK 3,600 for six months.

Getting around once you are here

Three free buses. The main one runs Geiloheisen to Vestlia in about ten minutes and serves most of the accommodation morning and afternoon. An après-ski bus runs on event days. Flag it down with your arm at the marked stops.

The best weeks are the last ones

March and the first half of April are the finest skiing of the year up here. The days are long, the sun is on the slopes instead of behind the trees, the snow base is at its deepest after a full winter of cold, and the queues from February half-term have gone home.

It is also when the ski charters stop. The seasonal flights into Scandinavian Mountains end on 13 March. Oslo Gardermoen runs all year, from every major European city — so the best weeks of the season are reached the same way you would reach Oslo on any other weekend.

Build the trip you want

Geilo is halfway between Oslo and Bergen on the same railway, which makes it the easiest resort to put in the middle of a longer trip.

A charter sells you one resort, one week, one flight home. Flying into a real airport means you can split the week, add two nights in a city, or ski two mountains and let us move you between them. Tell us what you want the week to look like and we will put it together.

Arrival days

Arrivals run through the week rather than on a single changeover day. At Geilolia, check-in is from 16:00 and check-out from 11:00.
