After being active outdoors in winter, you can choose to relax in the cozy fireplace room with a great view to the Valdres area and to the high mountains of Jotunheimen or going to the sauna.

The winter season starts with short days with daylight, but then you will get a lot of clear starry sky, and if you are lucky even northern light. Bring a headlamp and ski in the dark!
