Travel information

To get to Geilo, take the train from Oslo or Bergen to Geilo train station. For international travelers it is recommended to fly  to Oslo Gardermoen or Bergen Flesland arriving on Sunday the 14th of December and then take a train to Geilo. The train trip takes ca. 3.5 hours and is following the scenic Oslo-Bergen train route. There are non-expensive flights to Oslo by Norwegian.no from many places in the world. There is a convenient KLM connection from Geneva via Amsterdam to either Oslo or Bergen:

Flying to Bergen: On Sunday, e.g. KLM from Amsterdam arrives at Bergen airport at 13.20, and the train leaves from Bergen city centre at 15.59. On Wednesday, the train leaves from Geilo at 11.57 and arrives at Bergen city centre at 14.59. KLM to Amsterdam leaves from Bergen Airport at 17.20.

Flying to Oslo: On Sunday, e.g KLM from Amsterdam arrives at Oslo airport at 12.10, and the train to Geilo leaves from Oslo Central Station at 15.25. On Wednesday, the train leaves from Geilo at 10.56 and arrives at Oslo Central Station at 14.45. The KLM flight to Amsterdam leaves at 17.15.

There are of course many other possibilities to fly to Oslo or Bergen as well, flying with SAS or Norwegian.no, or with KLM directly from e.g. Paris CDG to Oslo.

The connection between Bergen Airport Flesland and the train station can be realized by the airport bus (around 25min, every 15min), which stops 50m from the train station, or with a taxi (around 20min).
From Oslo Airport Gardermoen there is a normal train as well as an Airport train leaving to Oslo Central Station, from where the train to Geilo leaves. Train tickets to Geilo can be booked here.
