Train services:
Norway has a comprehensive and efficient train network, which is great for traveling between cities and larger towns. Several ski resorts in Innlandet are accessible by train, including:

  • Lillehammer: Lillehammer is well-served by train from Oslo and other major cities. Once you're in Lillehammer, local buses or taxis can take you to nearby ski areas like Hafjell, Kvitfjell, and Skeikampen.
  • Gjøvik: Gjøvik is another town with good train connections, and you can use local transport or taxis to get to nearby ski resorts like Birkebeineren Skistadion.

Bus services:
Regional bus services provide connections to ski resorts, particularly in the areas around Lillehammer, Gjøvik, and Valdres. Ski resorts often have special ski bus services during the winter season, which are timed to match popular arrival and departure times for skiers.

  • Lillehammer Ski Bus: a dedicated ski bus service connects the train station in Lillehammer to popular ski areas like Hafjell and Kvitfjell.

  • Regional buses: from towns like Gjøvik, Fagernes, or Vang, you can catch buses to nearby resorts. During winter, these buses run more frequently.


Ski bus services:
Many ski resorts in Innlandet operate their own ski bus services that run from nearby towns or major transport hubs (like train stations) to the slopes:

  • Kvitfjell: ski buses connect the resort with Lillehammer and other nearby areas.

  • Hafjell: there is a ski bus that runs from Lillehammer to Hafjell, which takes about 20 minutes.

These buses usually run on a regular schedule during the winter season (especially weekends and holidays). Some ski areas may also offer free shuttle buses for skiers and snowboarders who are staying in designated ski lodges or accommodation areas.
