When you picture the classic Scandi ski trip, you think snow-capped wooden cabins and nights getting cosy by the fire. Kvitåvatn Mountain Cabins are just the thing – simply furnished in true Norwegian style, they're homey and great for sharing meals then keeping toasty together after a day’s skiing. And if you fancy cabin-life without the self-catering, upgrade to bed & breakfast or half board and get your meals at the Gaustablikk Mountain Resort too.

You’re close to the slopes here and whether you’re hopping on a lift or nipping to the shop, the essentials are all conveniently close by. That also goes for the Mountain Resort, where you’ll find a few other facilities. There’s Kirk’s Bar for an aprés tipple or for a wee fee, you can unwind at the spa.

For a taste of real Scandinavian serenity though, paying a bit extra and booking a visit to the floating saunas is the way to go. A steam with an incredible view – this really is relaxing in style. Then, you can even embrace local tradition and hop right into the lake itself.

Just so you know, with the half board upgrade you are able to switch up your evening meal on a day-to-day basis. As a standard, you'll get a 3-course set menu evening meal at the Mountain Resort's Blikk Fjellbrassiere restaurant. You can also choose to take your evening meal at the Fjell restaurant, where the price of your half-board meal will be dectucted from the cost of your meal. Alternatively, you can get a partial payment voucher for Blikk's à la carte evening menu – just let the hotel's reception know two days beforehand and they’ll book you in.
