Please register your teams information within December 15th, 2024!

Bus transfer to / from GFL Hemsedal

If you are flying to Oslo Airport (OSL), you will have the opportunity to travel onward to GFL Hemsedal on the GFL Bus. If you are interested, keep reading!

The bus fare will be 900 NOK (approx. 75 EUR at the time of writing), for a return trip. This includes some beer/wine and something to eat. The drive takes about 3 to 3 1/2 hours, from the airport to GFL Hemsedal. More details regarding departure times and other practical info will be forwarded in due time.

If you wish to travel by train & taxi, this is also possible (please refer to the transport tab for more information.)

Luggage options

For your convenience, we have listed a few options regarding luggage storage, in case you want to ship your luggage to Hemsedal ahead of GFL or simply want to store your luggage at the airport.

Luggage storage at Oslo Airport
At Oslo airport you may store your luggage for a fee.

Details are available here.

Forward luggage to Hemsedal
Arrange your luggage transfer by contacting “Hemsedal Aktiv” here, and they will assist you.

Cross Country Party

The Cross Country party will be hosted outdoors at Gravset Cross Country Arena!
Due to Norwegian laws, the XC Party will have a dedicated fenced area for drinking.
Food and drink transport to the arena will be provided on the same buses as participants.

Team captains must remember to register their interest via the google sheet they have received.

Ski rental (important!)

If you have already booked your skis/boards, you don’t have to “edit” your booking.

  2. Go to ‘My Page’ and select ‘Rental.’
  3. Choose Hemsedal as your location.
