Check-In & Explore the Area
Upon arrival at Pellestova, settle into your new home for the next few nights. Once you’re checked in, we recommend heading out for a relaxed afternoon ski directly from the hotel. The surrounding trails offer gentle loops as well as open plateau skiing — perfect for stretching your legs after the transfer and getting a first feel for the area.
Today's Ski Recommendation
Start with one of the shorter loops around Pellestova to get oriented. From the hotel, follow the groomed trails leading toward Hafjelltoppen for beautiful open-mountain views, or choose an easier route through the sheltered forest trails around the plateau.
Afternoon
After your ski, enjoy some downtime at the hotel. Warm up in the lounge, take in the panoramic views over the mountains, or enjoy a hot drink before dinner.
Dinner
This evening, gather for a welcome group dinner at the hotel restaurant. Enjoy local Norwegian cuisine while your trip leaders preview the plans for the coming days.
