Day to day

Day 1: Arriving at Beitostølen

Transport

Busride from Oslo to BeitostølenTake our bus from Oslo bus terminal, and in 4 hours you will be transported from the city dimension to the wintery peaks of Jotunheimen – if you see Olav from “Frozen” along the way, don’t be scared! It is a scenic ride along valleys, rivers, and villages but we haven’t forgotten to make it cozy: USB, comfortable seats, and built-in toilettes, we have them all!
There are several departures available and depending on your arrival time in Beitostølen, you might want to start with a blast already on your first day in Frozen land.

Departures:
8:30 – 12:27
13:05 – 17:00
15:05 – 19:00

On Thursday, Friday, and Sunday we have as well a bus leaving from Oslo Airport, 17:00 with arriving at Beitostølen at 21:00.
Upon arrival in Beitostølen, check in at Radisson BLU Mountain Resort

Activity:
The early bird catches the worm, so we learned… if you have the chance to catch the first bus, you can participate in the afternoon at the following activities:
– Airboarding: we gave skiing and sledding techniques a modern twist! Use your body to shoot downhill on an inflatable sled; our instructors will teach you how to control the direction with your body, but remember, caution – plus helmet and goggles – first!
– Snow rafting: Possibility is the mother of the invention – more or less. Mountains have been used for skiing slopes in ages, why not using the same slopes for rafting? It has been a popular activity for those with a strong inclination for quick adrenaline rushes, low physical activity, but unforgettable memories… Ready for a ride?

Accommodation: Radisson BLU Mountain Resort. Modern resort high up in the mountains, with ski slopes at its back, the resort offers a variety of alternative activities for those in need of variety in life.

Dinner: not included, but you have the pick of the choice, many restaurants are at short walking distance from the resort!

Day 2-4: Winter activities

Activities:
Depending on how many days you can effort to have fun, you can choose the following days from the following activities. Please be aware, that not all activities are every day available. Please let us know, which activity you wish, and we will come back to you with the possible schedule.

– Dogsledding: one of the highlights; reason? We’ll give you 4 words: speed and puppy kisses. Choose from a half-day (3 hours) or full day (5-6 hours) excursion depending on how much you need thrills – or puppy therapy. And no, you will not be asked who let the huskies out 😊
Available every day.
– Horseback riding: more open air in a laidback mood? Ever given a thought about horseback riding? It allows riders – experienced or not – to discover details you might have missed whilst running with the dogs. Each ride is around 3-4 hours, available every day.
– Snowshoe hike: walking on snow is no mission impossible when you use snowshoe… sure, you will have to shake your bootie a bit more than the previous days, but hey, ut på tur, aldri sur we say in Norway!
Don’t get panicked, it’s a nice tour of 2-3 hours, available every day at 10am.
– Ice fishing: hands-on people with proactive mindset? Then you have to try ice-fishing! Forget about an expensive cruise, sunburns and martinis on deck, here we fish like vintage Norwegians. First, we snowshoe – mens sana in corpore sana – then we carve holes, THEN we can finally sit on our butts and fish. You definitely have deserved this meal – and the warm drinks whilst we wait for the catch of the day…
Available every Friday from 10 am, the tour is 2 hours.
– Trapper Trail: Outstanding combination of three popular winter activities in one. In the course of the day you´ll get to try out a snow shoe safari, ice-fishing and wilderness lunch prepared on open fire!
Available every day, 4 h
– Cross-country skiing: ever wonder how we got our first Norwegian Royal house? It’s a nice story involving snatching a baby and transporting him through the mountains on cross-country skis! With this kind of story in history books, it’s easy to understand why we cannot panic during heavy snowfall… most of us would just take out our cross-country skis and go on with the day!
Available every Friday, from 09.30, the tour is about 2 hours.

Accommodation: Radisson BLU Mountain Resort

Meals: Breakfast included. Dinner at leisure.

Add-on: Overnight in a Wilderness cabin

Back to reality, with fresh energy and a rested mind! You will catch the bus in the direction Oslo, with arrival at 14:45, from where you will be able to catch your connection to home.
