Getting to Sjusjøen
Under two hours from Oslo Airport — closer than Hafjell — and the largest cross-country trail network in Norway starts at the door.
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
There is no airport shuttle to Sjusjøen. Travel to Lillehammer or Moelv, then take the ski bus or a taxi.
Taxi: Brøttum Taxi, 03650. Car hire through AVIS at Lillehammer.
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
Paid at Sjusjøen Skisenter (Natrudstilen), operated by APCOA — 625 spaces with licence-plate recognition, paid through the APCOA FLOW app, at the machines on exit, or by invoice. EV charging on site.
Getting around once you are here
The Innlandstrafikk ski bus serves both the alpine centre and the cross-country trails, departing from Lillehammer Skysstasjon several times a day through the season.
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 or Moelv and cover the last 19 km from Lillehammer on the local bus. It is cheap and it works — when the timetable matches your flight.
Bus 501 runs several times a day and 608 from Moelv at weekends and in school holidays — but neither runs late, and the gap between them can be an hour. Brøttum Taxi, 03650. Book it from the train, not from the platform.
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

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
Cabins at Sjusjøen are let by many different owners, so changeover days vary by property.
