Travel Arrangements
Bus transport is arranged from/to Oslo Airport Gardermoen on Tuesday January 2nd, Sunday January 7th and Friday January 12th, 2018. There will be several buses with 50 seats each.
The first bus leaves Gardermoen on January 2nd at 9:30, the second bus leaves at 2pm, and the third bus leaves at 5pm. Don't miss this bus! On the Sunday 7th January and Friday 12th both buses leave Skeikampen at 8am and arrive at Gardermoen before noon. You can select which bus you would prefer to take when you register.
We highly recommend that you try to arrive at the airport in time to catch one of the arranged buses. However, if this proves impossible, here are the alternatives:
-
If you arrive after 5pm on the 2nd January (or you plan to arrive on a later day), you will need to take a train from Oslo Lufhavn (the airport station) to Lillehammer. Please see nsb.no for timetables. To get to Skeikampen, you will then need to take a public bus - the relevant timetable from Lillehammer to Skeikampen can be found here: https://www.opplandstrafikk.no/Handlers/fh.ashx?MId1=377&FilId=5279. Note that there are no buses from Lillehammer to Skeikampen after 4:15pm. So, those who arrive too late will either have to stay in Oslo until the day after or arrange their own taxi.
