Day 1: Arrival at Hafjell and Check-in at Nermo Hotell

 

Your journey begins at Nermo Hotell, a traditional family-owned business that offers a stay in beautiful surroundings in Hafjell, with a splendid view over the Gudbrandsdalen valley. Nermo Hotel is located 15 km from Lillehammer, 200 km from Oslo, and 160 km from Oslo Airport Gardermoen.

 

Here, you'll reside in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, with a focus on quality and comfort. The hosts emphasize personal service, unique rooms, and food made from scratch.

 

If you're looking for activities, the hotel is conveniently situated close to exhilarating experiences in Hafjell and Hunderfossen. Nermo also boasts its own golf and mini golf course, as well as a heated outdoor swimming pool. With a short distance to Lillehammer, the hotel is also a great starting point for excursions to places like Lillehammer Olympic Park and Maihaugen.

 

In the evening, the kitchen invites you to a meal consisting of high-quality ingredients with flavors from Gudbrandsdalen. A 2-course dinner is served at 7:00 PM (barbecue buffet from June 20th to August 19th is served from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM).

 

Day 2: Norwegian Scenic Route Rondane and Røros

 

After a hearty breakfast, your journey continues along the National Tourist Route Rondane, between Muen on Venabygdsfjellet and Folldal, and from there onwards to Røros. See driving suggestions from Lillehammer to Røros here.

 

Some of our recommendations along the way:

  • Make a stop at the winding viewpoint platform, Sohlbergplassen, by Atnsjøen. The ambiance of Harald Sohlberg's famous painting "Winter Night in the Mountains" from 1914 is enchanting. The architect aimed to recreate this atmosphere, and from Sohlbergplassen, you can see the view towards Rondane from the same angle as in the painting.
  • Have a coffee break with delicious baked goods at the traditional Atnasjø Kafe.
  • Also, consider stopping at Strømbu rest area and viewpoint, an excellent starting point for hikes.
  • Visit Folldal Mines and experience one of Norway's most important industrial cultural heritage sites.
  • Make a stop at Sollia Church, one of the country's most beautiful and well-preserved baroque churches.

Upon arriving in Røros, one of our historic hotels extends a warm welcome to the mining town. The kitchen is a source of pride for Vertshuset Røros. The head chef and his team use local quality ingredients and conjure up gourmet meals with clear inspiration from Røros' food traditions and culinary culture. In the evening, you will be served a delightful 4-course dinner.

 

The hotels located in Røros are:

 

Røros Hotell

At Røros Hotell you can put on your skis or hiking shoes right outside the front door. Or you can keep your slippers on, and visit the hotel's gorgeous bath and spa facilities.  Enjoy the view of the famous wooden houses and the famous Bergstaden Ziir from the hotel's 38-degree hot outdoor pool.

 

When you return rosy-cheeked from an active day in the mountain mining town of Røros, you can enjoy the comforts of Røros Hotell, whether you prefer a quiet evening in your room or an exquisite meal based on high-quality local ingredients.

Vertshuset Røros

Vertshuset Røros is situated in Rammgården at the heart of the Røros World Heritage site.

 

Rammgården has a long and dramatic history, stretching back to the 17th century. The main building was taken into use as a restaurant and bar in 1967. Over the last few years it has been renovated in traditional Røros style, in consultation with the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage.

 

The back building has 32 cosy rooms and six apartments, all to hotel standard. The kitchen is the hotel's pride and joy, using quality local ingredients to produce gourmet meals that fuse innovation and tradition.

 

Dining at Vertshuset is a treat for all the senses – welcome to a cultural experience!
