The train station
Main Street - Almost Desolate
How much does a taxi cost from Lillehammer to the ski center at Hafjell? I will be arriving by train from Oslo at around 21:50.
Thank you in advance.
Norway taxi are probably most expensive in the world. Night ride is even more expensive, it has been long since I was there but I assume the payment are about 12 NOK per KM and whatever you will calculate it will always be even more in the end :)
The distance from Lillehammer to Hafjell is 15km. It's no fixed taxi price, but I guess it might be 3-400 kroner in the daytime and 4-500 kroner in the night. There are both buses and train from Lillehammer to Hafjell in the daytime. If money doesn't matter, use public transportation. Since you are arriving Oslo train station at 21:50, I guess you shall stay in Lillehammer during the night and then go to Hafjell the day after... Or?
The train from Oslo leaves at 23:05 and arrive Lillehammer 01:35 (Check timeschedule and price on www.nsb.no. The lowest internet price from Oslo to Lillehammer is 199 kroner).
There are also several ways to get there. Check out: http://www.hafjell.no/en ,then click the link "Getting there" on the left side.
Good luck and enjoy the olympic alpine centre at Hafjell.
I always try to check out the churches because they are usually quite pretty or somehow architecturally interesting. Here's the main one from this town, called the Lillehammer Kirke. As usual for older churches, this one's also surrounded by a cemetary, which I've always found somewhat of an oxymoron (I hope I don't get smitten out of heaven for that comment).
A ocre-yellow colored, slightly old-fashioned bike seen in Lillehammer is public property! You can use these city bikes for the day provided you pay a small deposit, returned when you put the bike back in the locker system. The tourist office as well as the municipality's service unit in Storgaten will help you.
Hotels and agencies at Nordseter and Sjusjoen (in the hills 15 and 22 kms east of Lillehammer) have rental off-road bikes which you can use on selected trails and the gravel/sand roads criss-crossing the areas between Sjusjoen in the south, Aastdalen valley in the east, the Oeyer mountains to the north and the Lillehammer forests to the west. Consult the tourist office for confirmation and addresses.
For more substantial bike tours, day's or week's or longer, consult the Trollsykling company successfully specializing in low-profile, high adventure, true to culture and nature type bike travels, with and without guides. Highly recommended! City bikes at the tourist office and The Lillehammer Municipality office entrance in Storgaten.
Rentals at Sjusjoen and Nordseter... yes, I'll get the exact run-down on this later.
Trollsykling might equip you from head to toe including the bike.
Just east of town, near the ski stadium lies the "undeveloped" Abbortjernet Lake ("Perch Lake"). No facilities here, but who needs that? You can walk or bike up from town past the ski jump area above town or use a car/taxi/bus to get to or close to the ski stadium and walk from here by help of a map and directions given by the tourist office.
The lake gets nice and warm during the summer season - much, much better , warmer and cleaner, than Lake Mjosa and the Laagen River, and is a favourite among the more sporty locals. Bring some food - the water you can drink as it is. Bring a tent, and you can stay overnight, too.
Mjosa Lake is Norway's largest lake, being 100 km lond and having a depth of around 500 de metri.
The lake is limited in its northern side by Lillehammer and finishes with Minnesund in south.
If you only do one thing while in Lillehammer, go see the Miahaugen Museum. It's not like normal museums, instead, it's mostly an outdoor museum that gives you a look at the way *farms*, as they're called, appeared hundreds of years ago. To give you a brief history of the museum, a dentist started to collect old artifacts and pieces from the olden times and eventually he even began to buy up whole farms or houses, then transporting them to this location for preservation. It's a vast layout of many buildings and structures, including an old stave church. But equally fascinating is an indoor museum that pretty much covers the entire history of Scandinavia and Norway in particular. Plan to spend a whole day there and not finish. Check out my Miahaugen travelogue for more photos and storytime.
