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

There is no dedicated airport shuttle to Hafjell. The standard route is the train from Oslo Airport to Lillehammer, then the Hafjell bus — about fifteen minutes.

By train

Lillehammer station, on the Dovre Line (RE10), with hourly departures for most of the day. Oslo S to Lillehammer takes 2 h 10 min; Oslo Airport to Lillehammer 1 h 45 min. The Hafjell bus leaves from platform J at the bus station next door.

Parking

Paid, through the Apcoa Flow app — enter your registration once and it charges automatically. The first 90 minutes are free, a full day is NOK 80, and evenings from 16:00 are NOK 40. Six 7 kW EV chargers at the bottom of the gondola; charging is billed on top of parking.

Getting around once you are here

The Hafjellbussen is free during the day with a lift pass. Without one, a single is NOK 29 and an evening ticket NOK 87. Under-sevens travel free.

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.

Train, then a taxi

Most people take the train to Lillehammer and cover the last 15 km on the local bus. It is cheap and it works — when the timetable matches your flight.

The bus takes fifteen minutes and is free with a lift pass, but it stops at 18:30. Land late, or land with a family and a week of luggage, and a taxi from outside Lillehammer station is the sane answer. Four people and the bags fit in one car.

Half a ski week is decided in the first two hours. A train ticket for four and one taxi at the end still costs a fraction of a private transfer from the airport, and you are not standing in an arrivals hall waiting for a driver who is stuck on the E6.

Build the trip you want

Hafjell, Kvitfjell and Sjusjøen are all within an hour of each other, and all within two and a half hours of Oslo Airport. One flight, three very different mountains.

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.
