Overview
Enjoy a morning of skiing on the Sjusjøen plateau's seemingly endless trails.
From 7:30 AM - Breakfast
Good morning! Breakfast is available from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM at your hotel. After breakfast travel by bus up to the Sjusjøen plateau. We recommend having overboots or carrying shoes in a small backpack to get around when you are not skiing.
Today’s trail recommendation
Today is your day to enjoy skiing on the Sjusjøen plateau. This seemingly endless network of trails awaits you. Enjoy lunch at one of several restaurants along the trail or grab a bite once you’re back in Lillehammer.
Directions from Aksjemollen Hotel to Sjusjøen plateau:
Walk from your hotel to “Lillehammer skysstasjon,” the shuttle bus station. It’s only 300m away, right across from the train station. Take a public bus (line 501) from Lillehammer to Sjusjøen. The journey takes about 36 mins. Get off at the “Sjusjøen langrennsarena”.
Buses depart from Lillehammer Bus Station at 9:20 AM, 11:20 AM and 1:20 PM.
The reception at your hotel has bus passes for you. These are valid for all of your travels to Sjusjoen and back to Lillehammer during your trip.
Trail Recomendation
Today’s ski starts in Sjusjøen again. Ski from Sjusjøen over the scenic Lunkefjell (fjell = mountain) to the small settlement of Nordseter before making your way back to Sjusjoen (~ 10 km).
Lunch Recommendation: Nordseter Cafe
The Nordseter Cafe is the only spot on today’s route where you can grab a bite. Here you can find drinks, sandwiches and Norwegian waffles, but they are best known for their cinnamon buns. The aroma of the warm buns is almost as good as the buns themselves. We highly recommend grabbing a few.
Second half of your ski
From Nordseter Cafe, ski back uphill, retracing your tracks for about a kilometer, before bearing right and continuing to follow the blue highlighted trail back to Sjusjoen. You may wish to extend your ski exploring some of the trails that wind through the iconic Norwegian cabins around Sjusjoen.
Bus from Sjusjøen to Lillehammer
In case you decide to take the bus from Sjusjøen to Lillehammer to end your ski day where you started, take the bus “501” back from the “Sjusjøen langrennsarena” station. The journey takes about 35 mins and you can get off at “Lillehammer Skysstasjon”. From there you can walk back to your hotel the same way as you did in the morning.
Busses depart from the “Sjusjøen langrennsarena” Bus Station at 12:06 PM; 2:06 PM, 4:06 PM and 5:06 PM.
Dinner
After a long day outside enjoy another dinner on your own at one of the many Restaurants in Lillehammer.
God appetitt og god natt!
