Getting to Kvitfjell
The only resort in this collection with a railway station at the foot of the slope. Step off the train, take the lift down, and you are at the piste.
Book your flight. We do the rest. We are here, on the mountain — transfer, keys, lift pass and the answer to whatever comes up at four o'clock on a Saturday afternoon.

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
Transfer buses meet selected train departures at Kvitfjell station and run to Gudbrandsgard and Skitorget.

Not sure which to take?
Send us your flight and we will tell you what we would do ourselves — including when the answer is the train and not a car. We book the accommodation; the transport you book direct, and you keep the difference.

Parking
Free. Large car parks at Gudbrandsgard Hotell and Skitorget, and space even on the busiest weeks if you arrive early. EV charging at Gudbrandsgard Hotell and a fast-charging site at Kvitfjelltunet in Fåvang; the west side has paid charging in the underground facility beneath Origo.
Getting around once you are here
No resort ski bus. The transfer buses from the station cover the main arrival and departure times.
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 Kvitfjell and cover the last at the resort on the local bus. It is cheap and it works — when the timetable matches your flight.
Transfer buses meet selected departures only. If yours is not one of them, Schøss Taxi runs around the clock on +47 48 90 95 00 — a few minutes up to Gudbrandsgard or Skitorget.
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
Kvitfjell, Hafjell and Sjusjøen are all within an hour of each other, and all within three hours of Oslo Airport. One flight, three very different mountains.
- Hafjell
- 45 km — 45 min
- Lillehammer
- 60 km — 55 min
- Sjusjøen
- about 75 km via Lillehammer
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.
